The best place to post Xalan questions is on Xalan-dev.  That way,
everyone interested in Xalan can see it and someone may have a
solution.  I have taken the liberty of posting this reply there.

I don't understand what you mean when you say you're trying to pass a
user context through to the extension.  Can you post a working example
of your XSLT, XML, and Java code so that I can see what you're
describing?
