XSLT 2.0 validation fails with net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl - xslt-2.0

Question

I have below sample to validate xslt style sheet. In various forums it was mentioned that we should "net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl" for xslt 2.0 style sheet. According I have updated my code. But this piece of code is working for only few cases. For example, the code does not work for the sample I have attached below. If I change sample style sheet version to 1 (version="1.0"), then code works fine. Otherwise it fails. I believe the sample style sheet is valid xslt 2.0 document.
This is causing lot of problem, how do I validate a style sheet before I parse?
package com.ibm.mq.id;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;
import net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl;
public class xsltTransformationEx {
/**
* #param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
String path="C://Work//ex.xsl";
TransformerFactoryImpl factory = new TransformerFactoryImpl();
try
{
javax.xml.transform.Templates template = factory.newTemplates(new StreamSource(path));
//VALIDATING XSLT is valid or not
//Transformer trans = factory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(path));
template.newTransformer();
}
catch(TransformerConfigurationException ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
And my Sample XSLT is below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="2.0"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:bpws="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/">
<xsl:output indent="yes" method="xml"/>
<xsl:variable name="FamilyMembers" select="bpws:getVariableData('HSPACT_FamlyNumbers')"></xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="Molers_Output">
<xsl:element name="Molers_Output">
<!--
<xsl:element name="row">
<xsl:value-of select="row"/>
</xsl:element>
-->
<xsl:for-each select="row[Hosp_Acct_Num = $FamilyMembers/rows/row/normalize- space(HACCT_)]">
<xsl:variable name="Account"><xsl:value-of select="Hosp_Acct_Num"></xsl:value-of></xsl:variable>
<xsl:element name="row">
<xsl:for-each select="node()">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="name()='Family_Num'">
<xsl:element name="Family_Num">
<xsl:value-of select="$FamilyMembers/rows/row[normalize-space(HACCT_) = $Account]/HAFAM_"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:copy copy-namespaces="yes" inherit-namespaces="yes">
<xsl:value-of select="current()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Your stylesheet has a call to a function named bpws:getVariableData in the namespace http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/ but there is no definition for that function so that you get a compilation error. You would need to define that function using xsl:function or xsl:import/include a module that defines the function.
