RE: Scripts with Saxon

["Aaron Skonnard" <aarons@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

With MSXML 3.0, you don't actually need JavaScript. It let's you associate
COM objects with a namespace URI that can be leveraged throughout the
transformation like any extension. To do this, you need to add it to your
processor's context before calling transform as follows:

Set obj = CreateObject("mylib.myobject")
processor.addObject obj, "urn:mylib"
processor.Transform

See the IXSLProcessor and IXSLTempalte interfaces for more details. If the
mylib.myobject component supports a method called 'method1()' and a property
called 'property1' you could use them as follows:

<xsl:transform version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:mylib="urn:mylib">
   <xsl:template match="/">
     method1 returns: <xsl:value-of select="mylib:method1()"/>
     property1 returns: <xsl:value-of select="mylib:get-property1()"/>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
