RE: [xsl] Xalan Java Extension questions.

[Christian Mallwitz <c.mallwitz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Although that is not quit what you asked for I do this in my XSLT (Xalan
1.2.2)

<xsl:stylesheet
     version="1.0"
     xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
     xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/xslt/java";
     exclude-result-prefixes="java">

<xsl:param name="today" select="java:toString(java:java.util.Date.new())"/>

and use "today" where ever I need. I looked to me that you can call pretty
much any java method ...

One problem: I use the "today" parameter a couple of times and the runtime
of the transformation step  seems to be directly linked to how often I do
this. So I guess the select attribute is evaluated ever time and not just
once in the beginning ...

Bye
Christian
