RE: [xsl] Saxon and HashMap/Hashtable

[William Lam <xeenman@xxxxxxxxx>]

I managed to get it working in Saxon 6.4, but 6.3 does
not work.

If I need to call an Java function that has no return
value of interest, would this be better?

<xsl:if test="Hashtable:put('key', 'value'" />

instead of storing the result in a variable?
