 \ul\fs32 The Xalan-C/C++ XSLT Project Version 1.11\ulnone\fs20\par
 \par
 Xalan is an XSLT processor for transforming XML documents into HTML, text, or other XML document types.\par
 \par
 Xalan-C++ version 1.11 is a robust implementation of the W3C Recommendations for \ul XSL Transformations (XSLT)\ulnone  [http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt] and the \ul XML Path Language (XPath)\ulnone  [http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath]. It works with the \ul Xerces-C++ version 3.1.1\ulnone  [http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c] release of XML parsers. The focus for this Xalan release is on bug fixes and compatibility with newer development platforms.\par
 \par
 The Xalan-C/C++ project creates and distributes a standard XSLT library and a simple Xalan command-line utility for transforming XML documents.\par
 \par
 This project is written in a reduced set of the C++ programming language.  This makes the library directly usable on numerous platforms.  A set of 'C' language APIs is also available so that XSLT and XPath functionality is easily deployed to 'C' language applications.\par
 \par
 \ul Sample programs\ulnone  [samples.html] are available for you to test and experiment with as you learn the Xalan library.\par
 \par
 Some of the \ul EXSLT extension functions\ulnone  [http://www.exslt.org] for XPath are available.  We need to write and validate more of the EXSLT functions.  Apache also provides some of their own XPath extensions [extensionslib.html] for use.  Documentation and examples are available for you to write your own custom \ul XPath extensions\ulnone  [extensions.html].\par
 \par
 There is a library of XPath extensions [extensionslib.html] that are provided by the Apache Xalan community.\par

 The Xerces-C/C++ also supports the SAX 1.0 and SAX 2.0 projects [http://sax.sourceforge.net/]. SAX is primarily Java based. The Xerces-C/C++ project has implemented a SAX C++ API that looks much like the SAX Java API.\par

 Web Services and Web Security recommendations have been developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) [http://www.w3.org] and OASIS Advancing open standards for the information society [http://www.oasis-open.org].  The Xerces-C/C++ has support for custom entity resolvers.\par

 \b\fs28 Security Issues\b0\fs20\par
 \par
 The Xalan-C/C++ library has hooks so that custom entity resolvers can be deployed.  The entity resolvers are actually interfaces into the Xerces-C/C++ XML Parser Library.  Use of trusted entity resolvers greatly increases the security of XML based applications.\par
 \par
 The Web Services Architecture uses specifications and recommendations that are documented by the following organizations.\par

 \tab The Sourceforge SAX Project (SAX1, SAX2)\tab http://sax.sourceforge.net\par

 \pard\par
 There are some architecture security issues that should be addressed by any XML parser or XSLT transformation application.  Other than validating and cleaning the content of XML elements, the access to untrusted external entities is a big problem for security management.\par
 \par
 The "Xalan" comman-line transformation program does not deploy an OASIS catalog or perform other security measures.  URLs are resolved using the system directory of the local machine and DNS to resolve host locations. The "Xalan" program should be used only with trusted XSLT stylesheets and XML documents on a trusted computer.\par
 \par
 A future release of the "Xalan" command-line transformation program may include support for an OASIS entity resolver catalog.\par
 \par
 Information on creating \ul Secure Web Service Applications\ulnone  [secureweb.html] is useful for review. This overview document goes beyond the scope of XSLT transformations and asks many pertinent security based questions.\par

 \par
 \b\fs28 Getting Started\par
 \b0\fs20\par
 The source code and documentation are delivered in separate packages.  Binary packages comprise the compiled libraries, the Xalan command line utility, and the C/C++ header files.  The documentation package contains the pre-built documentation.  The source package contains the sources to build everything.\par
 \par
 The current Xalan-C/C++ Version 1.11 will work with the stable releases of Xerces-C/C++ Version 2.8.0 and Version 3.1.1 [http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c].\par
 \par
 The previous Xalan-C/C++ Version 1.10 works with Xerces-C/C++ Version 2.7.0.\par
 \par
 If you are having problems using the product, send your comments to [mailto:xalan-c-users@xml.apache.org].\par
 \par
 If you think a change needs to be made or have suggestions for future releases, send your comments to [mailto:xalan-dev@xml.apache.org].\par
 \par
 Binary releases are not yet available.  We would like to distribute Xalan-C/C++ Version 1.11 binary releases using the same platforms specified for the compatible Xerces-C binary packages.\par
 \par
 \par
 \b\fs28 Getting What You Need\b0\fs20\par
 \par
 What you need depends whether you plan to build from the sources or download prebuilt packages.\par
 \par
 The development platform used to build the Xalan-C (XSLT) library should be the same as the platform used to build the Xerces-C (XML) parser library.\par
 \par
 Xalan-C (XSLT) library requires a working Xerces-C (XML) parser library.  The supported versions of Xerces-C are 2.8 and 3.1.1.\par
 \par
 If you are ambitious and willing to experiment, you can download the bleeding edge development from the Apache Software Foundation subversion repositories.  Use a subversion 'svn' utility for download.\par

 \par
 Note: The sources from the Xalan-C repository are current for Version 1.11 until released packages are available.  You can help us prepare for a Version 1.11 release by \ul providing packages\ulnone  [downloadpkgs.html] for your platforms and let us know of your building issues.\par
