Hi there,
i have some stylesheets which were written to be processed by the xalan
processor. Now I want to switch to saxon. These stylesheets contain java
methods that should be executed. Therefore they include the following
namespace "xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/xslt/java". The .jar file
which holds the java classes is included in the classpath. A method call
looks like the following:
<xsl:value-of select="java:de.novum.vger.util.DateUtil.getTodayString()" />
which works fine with xalan.
How can I make these stylesheets work with saxon without changing too much?
I thought it would work like this:
add namespace: xmlns:java="java:de.novum.vger.util.DateUtil"
call method:
<xsl:value-of select="java:getTodayString()" />
but I get the following error:
Error at xsl:value-of on line 40 column 84 of
stylesheet_leistungsfall_variabel_dta.xsl
XPST0017: XPath syntax error at char 21 on line 40 in
{java:getTodayString()}:
Cannot find a matching 0-argument function named
{java:de.novum.vger.util.DateUtil}getTodayString()
Why does saxon not find the class, although the jar-file containing it
is in the classpath?
regards,
Garvin
