how can i get javascript to work in XSLT?

I have the following problem, and would appreciate any
help..

I want to make use of the extensions from Xalan-Java
which will allow me to define my own javascript
functions. i can't however get xalan to load the
javascript langauge. I followed the instructions at
the apache site..

I have bsf.jar, bsfengines.jar (binaries from
working-dogs.com) and js.jar(1.5 from mozilla) in my
classpath on tomcat. I have my stylesheet set up as
below..

I get the following error displayed on the tomcat
startup window under NT..

Call to extension function failed: unable to load
language: javascript

Looks like the BSF engine cannot load the js.jar...

here is my stylesheet

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:jjc="http://www.spektra.co.uk"
xmlns:lxslt="http://xml.apache.org/xslt" 
xmlns:colin="http://www.spektra.co.uk"
extension-element-prefixes="colin">>


<xsl:template match="/">

 <html>
  <body>
 
     <xsl:apply-templates select="//test"/>
  
  </body>
  </html>
  </xsl:template>
 
<xsl:template match="//test">
 <p> we have lift off </p> <xsl:value-of
select="colin:currentDate()"/> 
</xsl:template>
 
<lxslt:component prefix="colin"
functions="currentDate">
     
   <lxslt:script lang="javascript">  
       function currentDate() {
        return "hello"
       }
   </lxslt:script>
  </lxslt:component>
</xsl:stylesheet>
