[xsl] <Xalan:component>

["Saini, Amit" <asaini@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am new to XSL processor and using Java-extension of XSLT to get my
application work, which has to call java classes from XSL but I couldn't get
it through.

Could anyone please guide me as how <xalan:component> works?

I want to understand what elements and functions's attributes' meaning in
this tag? Both have java's method name (which is being used through
reflection), then what is the difference?? 

I am getting this error all the time, while running the sample java
extensions programs:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: For extension function, could not find
method java.lang.String.getValue(
[ExpressionContext,] ).
