matchless in Solaris
When I give fop 0.95 an XSLT 2.0 stylesheet that calls the XPath
matches() function on a SunOS[1] system running java 1.4[2] I get
"javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Could not find function:
matches". The same version of fop executes the transform just fine on
Mac OS X 10.6 (running java 1.6). The doc says java 1.4 is sufficient
for fop.[3]
Is there something I might be doing wrong? I've scanned through the
doc and the archives (and Googled for this message) and didn't notice
anything. Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks in advance.

Interesting you say xalan is bundled with Java.
I searched Java and found that within rt.jar there is a path:
com\sun\org\apache\xalan
I don't know what this xalan is. After finding xalan in the FOP
classpath and not seeing xalan.jar anywhere, I searched the web and
downloaded the latest from the project:
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/
This one has xalan in the path:
org\apache\xalan
I believe this is what FOP is expecting. I don't know why Sun Java
would have their own.

Thank you very much for the information, Craig. I also suspect that
Xalan is the culprit, but had not realized Xalan was bundled with my
Java, not with FOP. So I'm glad I asked (and that you answered!)
Having read the FAQ you pointed me to, I spent an hour or so fighting
with Xalan and the system to get that working, with some, but not
sufficient, success.
So I gave up on making this a one-step procedure, installed SaxonB
9.1 (as the java on this system is too old for the current version,
SaxonHE 9.2), and now just perform the XML -> FO transformation as a
completely separate step before calling FOP. Given that this is being
run from a script, it doesn't matter.
Thanks again!

It looks like fop is using Xalan for XSLT processing and XPath support.
I'm guessing (and I do mean guessing) that your issue will come down to
different versions of Xalan, since matches() is added by xpath 2.0.
Xalan is bundled in 1.4.2-01 and up according to some quick searching.
So I suspect you're using an elderly version of Xalan from the old
JRE/JDK on the sun box that doesn't understand matches(). You might need
to override the bundled version of Xalan.
