XSLT 2.0 for Adobe LiveCycle / ADEP

Adobe LiveCycle ES LogoHere I will show you how XSLT2 can be used in a Adobe LiveCycle / ADEP process. I found solutions where people put a saxon.jar into their application server library path. The whole application on the server uses the alternate XSLT processor, if you put it to the application server classpath. A test with JBoss resulted in errors which occurred during runtime (like the content of a modified process can not be saved). The working alternative is a custom plugin (called DSC). The classloader of the DSC component is isolated from the environment, so you won’t get into support problems (except for the DSC itself). I’ve choosen saxon as the XSLT2 processor (HE edition). The edition can simply be changed by putting replacing the saxon library in the jar file. You can download the DSC here.
