Translets with Extensions

[br...@colinx.com]

I've got an XSL document that uses some Java extensions to do some data
processing when translating from one XML format to another (i.e. using date
formats to convert from one date string format to another).

When I do a simple transform on this it works great.  When I try and
compile an XSL document into a Translet using XSLTC the compile fails
(returns a false value) and when I cycle through the error messages I get
the following error - returned from ErrorMsg.toString():

org/apache/regexp/RESyntaxException

Anyone had a similar problem?  Or any ideas why this would be happening?
It it possible to use Xalan extensions (using the abbreviated extension for
making calls to Java objects) ?

Thanks,
