[SOLVED] Re: Extension functions in XSL (Saxon)

[Derek Hohls <DH...@csir.co.za>]

Thanks Norman;

For Xalan (Cocoon) I have used 

  xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/xalan/java"
  exclude-result-prefixes="java"  

in my root stylesheet element, and  then

 select="java:java.lang.Math.max($num1,$num2)

This seems to work fine.  I am not sure about a 
more generic solution?

I think because in Cocoon you are using Xalan, you can do it this way

xmlns:math="http://exslt.org/math"

and then declaring 
<xsl:value-of  select="math:max(5,10)"/>

will work.

Alternative you can use the namespace
xmlns:math="xalan://java.lang.Math"

which will allow you to use the java functions.

The former is preferable as it is not dependent on
the stylesheet processor.
