Namespace for java.lang.Math

Hi,

I want to use the java.lang.Math.abs() method in my XSL transformation but
am having a little trouble.  I can get it working with:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    			version="1.0"
    			xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/xslt/java"
    			exclude-result-prefixes="java">
.
<xsl:value-of select="java:java.lang.Math.abs()....../>

but cant get it working with

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    			version="1.0"
    			xmlns:math="http://xml.apache.org/xslt/java/java.lang.Math"
    			exclude-result-prefixes="math">
.
<xsl:value-of select="math:abs()....../>


OR

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    			version="1.0"
    			xmlns:math="java.lang.Math"
    			exclude-result-prefixes="math">
.
<xsl:value-of select="math:abs()....../>

The reason that I want to do it this way is so I can (hopefully) use various
XSLT processors on the one standard document.

I am having a little trouble understanding the Namespace stuff so if you
also know of any good spots to get a bit of an idea on Namespace concepts,
that would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve.

Steve --

What version of XalanJ are you using?  This should work with XalanJ2.
