Current date integration

[Sandrine Pilon <sa...@mcc-soft.com>]

Dear all,

How is it possible to integrate (simply) current date to a xsl stylesheet ?

This solution seems to be run, but it's constraining to define an own
namespace for one function.
****************************************************************************
********************
<xsl:stylesheet	version="1.0"
		xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
		xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
		xmlns:func="http://www.exslt.org/functions"
		xmlns:user="http://www.mcc-soft.com/mynamespace"

		extension-element-prefixes="func"
        	exclude-result-prefixes="user">

<func:script implements-prefix="user" language="javascript">
<![CDATA[
        function today()
        {
		// body javascript function
        }
]]>
</func:script>
<xsl:template match="/">
	<xsl:value-of select="."/><br/>
	<xsl:variable name="today" select="user:today()"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Using javaScript is one solution, exactly as you did. With
Xalan, you can also use java.util.Date directly:

Neither of these approaches is protable (yet). If you need
portability, pass the formatted date as a parameter to the
style sheet. You can pass parameters from the command line
as well as to an transformer object if you run an embedded
transformer. For Cocoon, it's best to write an apropriate
filter.
