xslt extension functions with bsf broken due to xalan-2.6 / bsf-2.3 conflict

           Summary: xslt extension functions with bsf broken due to xalan-
                    2.6 / bsf-2.3 conflict
           Product: Cocoon 2
           Version: 2.1.5
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: dev@cocoon.apache.org
        ReportedBy: brobertson@mta.ca


xsl comprising extension functions implemented through BSF will throw an error
indicating that the required com.ibm.bsf class cannot be found. In fact, the
namespace of bsf has changed from com.ibm.bsf to org.apache.bsf in the switch
from bsf-2.2.jar, which was in cocoon-2.1.4 and bsf-2.3.jar, which is provided
in the bsf block of cocoon-2.1.5 It seems that xalan-2.6, a core component of
cocoon-2.1.5, was compiled against the com.ibm.bsf version, and this causes the
error. 

Temporary solution is to add a bsf-2.2.jar file to build/webapp/WEBINF/lib. In
the future, perhaps testing should be done for extension functions in xslt.
