Re: Could you put in backwards compatible hack for XalanJ1.x Redirect
andNodeset?
Gary, I went ahead and put in a small, ugly hack to
ExtensionHandler#getClassForName, where I check for the
"org.apache.xalan.xslt.extensions.Redirect" classname, and substitute
"org.apache.xalan.lib.Redirect". I didn't do anything with NodeSet, as
this changed from a class to a method in XalanJ2, and so it seemed like a
bigger hack that I don't want to do. Anyway, I am mainly concerned about
the redirect method, because the FO folks seem to be using it a lot.
Hope this is OK. I made a deal with my maker that I would have the beta
ready for final build in the morning.

This should not be a problem. I'll get on it later today. I have a
number of things I'm working on but I'll do it as soon as I can.

Thanks, Scott. I'm sorry I couldn't get to it myself sooner. Offhand,
I don't think it would be a problem to do the same thing for the
Nodeset. You'd just have the class possibly loaded from two different
places which wouldn't be so terrible since all of the methods are static
anyway and there are no fields in the class.
