I don't think you actually "do scripting" using Java in Xalan.
Xalan allows calls to static Java methods as extension functions
in XPath expressions. See
 http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/extensions.html#java-namespace
and the following example.

> <xalan:script language="javaclass" src="xalan:java.util.Date"  />
I doubt this will work, ever.

>     <xsl:variable name="date" select="Date:toString(Date:new())" 
> xmlns:Date="xalan:java.util.Date" />
>      <DOB>$date</DOB>
            ^^^^^
Likely another mistake, you probably want
 <DOB><xsl:value-of select="$date"/></DOB>
