Using Saxon with Cocoon XSLT for DSpace

Create an xconf file at [dspace-src]/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/resources/META-INF/cocoon/avalon/cocoon-core-saxon-xslt.xconf and add the following lines:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<components>
  <component role="org.apache.excalibur.xml.xslt.XSLTProcessor/saxon"
    class="org.apache.cocoon.components.xslt.TraxProcessor">
    <parameter name="use-store" value="true"/>
    <parameter name="transformer-factory" value="net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl"/>
  </component>
</components>

Add the following lines to [dspace-src]/dspace/modules/xmlui/pom.xml (or modify with your version of Saxon):

<dependency>
  <groupId>net.sf.saxon</groupId>
  <artifactId>Saxon-HE</artifactId>
  <version>9.5.1-4</version>
</dependency>

Build DSpace with mvn package.

Update your webapps with ant update_webapps (or fresh_install or whatever).

In [dspace]/webapps/xmlui/sitemap.xmap, change the XSLT transformer xslt-processor-role value to saxon. Note: this can be done as part of the build process, but that's not how my workflow is currently set up.
