XSLTC, abbreviated syntax for extension implemented in Java and Compiler error(s): Cannot find external method ...

[Mariella Di Giacomo <ma...@lanl.gov>]

Hello,

I was trying to compile using org.apache.xalan.xsltc.cmdline.Compile (version
1.2) an XSL file on Solaris 2.8 and xalan 2.4.0
I am using the abbreviated syntax for extension functions implemented in Java.

I have tried the possible cases that are described in the documentation and I
always get the same error:

Compiler error(s):
  Cannot find external method 'parseQuery.getVdkKey' (must be public).
  Cannot find external method 'parseQuery.getSessionId' (must be public).

1) package format
The java classes I am using belong to a package
called "pack1.team.xsltfunctions"
All the Java methods are public.
The first returns a String
The second takes a String and returns a String

The file1.xsl looks like:

__________________

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan"
xmlns:XSLTFunctionsPackage="xalan://pack1.team.xsltfunctions."

<xsl:variable name "myType" select="XSLTFunctionsPackage:new()">
<xsl:variable name="vdkKey" select="XSLTFunctionsPackage:parseQuery.getVdkKey
($myType)"/>

  <xsl:variable name="tmpFileName"
select="XSLTFunctionsPackage:parseQuery.getSessionId($myType, (string)
$vdkkey)"/>

</xsl:stylesheet>
________

2) package format and I made the Java classes
as public static methods

The file1.xsl looks like

____________

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan"
xmlns:XSLTFunctionsPackage="xalan://pack1.team.xsltfunctions."

<xsl:variable name="vdkKey" select="XSLTFunctionsPackage:parseQuery.getVdkKey
()"/>

  <xsl:variable name="tmpFileName"
select="XSLTFunctionsPackage:parseQuery.getSessionId((string)$vdkkey)"/>


</xsl:stylesheet>

_______
I get the same errors

3)
I have tried the "Class format" Name Space and I get the same errors.

Could you please tell me what is wrong ?
Could you please help ?

Thanks,

Mariella
