I'm not sure about the other processors, but Xalan [1] definitely 
understands ECMA script. Check out the following page for 
further details [2].

Essentially you can declare your ECMA/Java script as an extension 
function or element and then access it appropriately. There 
are some examples given at [2].

[1]. http://xml.apache.org/xalan/index.html
[2]. http://xml.apache.org/xalan/extensions.html

Cheers,
