| 
| (In the stylesheet) By default white space text nodes are 
| removed from the stylesheet. Put your white space in xsl:text 
| elements.
| 
| (In the source XML) Try xml:space="preserve", e.g. on the 
| xsl:for-each statement.

| | 
| |  Thanks Dave and Cams..
| |  I did the stuff and had it running with Xalan..and
| | everything is fine with  XALAN. Fails with Saxon. The 
| | saxon.jar and the str-utils.jar( this contains  my specific 
| | java stuff) are in classpath. The following is the Dos 
| Result  Screen
| | 
| |  D:\tests>java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN str.xml -XSL
| | str.xsl -OUT  RED  BLUE  BLACK  GREEN
| |  
| | --------------------------------------------------------------
| | -------------
| | ----------------------------
| |  With Saxon:
| | 
| |  Transform failed:  At xsl:value-of on line 18 of
| | file:/D:/tests/str.xsl: No  method matching upperCase with 1 
| | parameter found in class  com.myutils.utils.StringUtils
| | 
| |  This was just to test the extension functions in saxon. I
| | know I could have  used translate() method  to get the 
| | uppercase. But this is kind of a test to  get the Java thing 
| | running with Saxon.  The bit that calls the extension 
| | element:  <xsl:value-of select="str-utils:upperCase($colors)"/>
| | 
| |  and the namespace is:
| |  <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
| | xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
| |  xmlns:str-utils = "com.myutils.utils.StringUtils"  
| | extension-element-prefixes ="str-utils">
| | 
| |  I cant understand why this  fails  with Saxon
| | 
| |  thanks
