xerces-c_1_5_1.dll does it work with EXSLT(Extensions Lib).Is it supported?

[naijacoder <na...@hotmail.com>]

I have a software thats uses a xml viewer for printing.And what it does is
that we pass the xml and xsl file to it.
And i'm writing up a xslt for it and i need to make use of the EXSLT like
below.

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
 xmlns:xalan = "http://xml.apache.org/xalan"
                exclude-result-prefixes="xalan" version="1.0">

Then tried to use it like below 
<xsl:for-each select="xalan:nodeset($unified-data)/row[(position() mod
$page-size) = 1]">

i get error:XalanError: The specified function is not available:
http://xml.apache.org/xalan
:nodeset 

I have setup an environment where i downloaded the latest xalan lib
including xerces-c_2_7.dll
after testing the same  xsl file against the same xml file i get the the
result i want.

Does xerces-c_1_5_1.dll works with EXSLT(Extensions Lib) is it supported.
Thanks on Advance

Your version of Xalan-C doesn't support this extension function. Also, 
this is not an EXSLT extension function -- it's a Xalan-C proprietary 
extension function. The EXSLT function is in the namespace 
"http://exslt.org/common," and has the local name "node-set".

The current version does.

That's the DLL for Xerces-C, not for Xalan-C. Also, that's an extremely 
old version of Xerces, so I suspect you're also using an ancient version 
of Xalan-C. You should upgrade.
