Hi Doug, There are two versions of Saxon: one commercial (Saxon-SA) and one open-source (Saxon-B) licensed under the Mozilla Public License 1.0 (MPL). The open-source version is free (as in beer).
More information at http://saxon.sourceforge.net/ cheers, alex On 1/8/07, Jackson, Douglas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi! Alex - Thanks for the references. I am curious about the licensing impacts of the fact that Ode uses Saxon. Saxon appears to have license fees. Are those waived when a commercial product uses Ode? -Doug. -----Original Message----- From: Alex Boisvert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 05, 2007 11:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Date functions Hi Doug, I would suggest using the XPath 2.0 expression language that supports many date-time manipulation functions: http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-operators/#durations-dates-times We use Saxon for the implementation of XPath 2.0, so you can also refer to Saxon's own documentation for function details: http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/functions/intro.html cheers, alex On 1/5/07, Jackson, Douglas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi! > I am curious what functions I would use with the Ode bpel engine > for some date calculations.
