Stylus Studio and oXygen both offer step-by-step debugging for Saxon.
It's worth pointing out that it doesn't work quite like step-by-step debugging in a procedural language. With Saxon, the order of execution can vary quite considerably from the "naive" order, so the debugging experience can be a bit disorienting at first.

Hello,
See this post. I use templates to spit out either a <xsl:message> or <xsl:comment> with very large XSL files. Also Michael Kay points out some additional technics:

I don't know of any XSLT interactive debuggers other than the ones mentioned.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the Reply . I think i am not clear .
I am developing a data transformation tool . Currently it is able to provide xml to xml transformation . But my requirement is i need to provide debugging to the end user .
Using Xalan or Saxon Processor how i can debug the xslt . Or else i can also say like this , Stylus Studio is providing the debugging functionality , i want to know the internals of debugging functionality and how they provided in their tool , so that i can also provide in my tool to debug an xslt and see the intermediate results .
Am i clear . Tell me if i am not clear.
Bye Bye,
A. Sasi

Yes, your requirements are clear. I don't know about Xalan. But as far as Saxon is concerned, you have two options. You can study the source code and documentation and work out for yourself how to design and integrate a debugger, which is what oXygen did. Or you can engage Saxonica under a consultancy agreement to give you advice and assistance in designing and integrating a debugger, which is what Stylus Studio did. But it's a substantial project either way.
