No, Xalan-C has no facility for date formatting. You will need to
format the date, then pass it into the stylesheet as a parameter. Or,
you can write an extension function that you can call in your stylesheet.
The ICU (International Components for Unicode) has support for date
formatting which is like the Java functionality you're using in Xalan-J.

Thanks David for the reply and workaround - always good to know you're not

Yes, this is a bug. However, you can use the attribute axis as a
workaround:
Items/value//attribute::name
I've created a Jira issue and I'll be attaching a patch in a bit:

Yuck. Two bugs in match patterns this week, and they've both been there
since day 1.
Yes, this is a bug. Can you tell me if "attribute::name" works instead of
"@name"?

"Items/value/@name | Items/value//*/@name" is also a possible workaround.

XPath parsing bug?
Posted by "Rob.Conde" <Ro...@ai-solutions.com>.
I'm using Xalan 1.9
When compiling an xsl containing the following:
<xsl:template match="Items/value//@name">
<!--some stuff here -->
</xsl:template>
I get the following error:
"A node test was expected.pattern = 'Items/value//@name' Remaining tokens
are: ('@' 'name')
This works with the .NET xpath processor however. Isn't this valid xpath?
FYI we found the following workaround match="Items/value//*/@name" which
while not a general substitude, works for our particular case.

Did any one tried with ICU with windows platform.......?
If we try to download the ICU it taken to IBM link such as
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/ did any one downloaded
the ICU?
There is no ICU to download...
Instead of integrate ICU with the Xerces-C++ build, is there any
download for Xerces-C++ with ICU. Hope fully it won't be there, since
Xerces-C++ & ICU belongs to different vendor.
Or any example of XSL printing the date ?

It is, as long as you don't use processor-specific extensions, like
using Java function calls in your stylesheet, which is what the OP is doing.

First, to the poster, please take a look at
http://geekswithblogs.net/workdog/archive/2007/02/08/105858.aspx and see
if this helps.
This thread actually brings up a point I thought I understood, but I am
no longer sure.
If I create an XSLT stylesheet to transfrom XML and want to use Xalan-C,
would another developer coding in Java using Xalan-J have to create a
different stylesheet even if we are both acting on the same data and
want the same transformed output? I thought that XSLT was language
independent.
Thank you

I have checked from the production server,
No error, no warning message.. i am not sure whether ICU support is
enabled or not.. in my xslt processor.
