RE: [xsl] Saxon: java extension functions

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The message means that it's looking for a class called MyClass and can't
load one. If the class really is called MyClass, then changing the URI isn't
going to help.


With exactly the same classpath, try

javap MyClass

from the command line.

Some reasons that such problems occur:

- the class is in a package
- the class isn't on the classpath
- the class isn't public

Try also giving the class a public default constructor. I don't think that
should make any difference, but it could.
