That is possible but the how-to part depends on the Saxon version you are using. You will need to dive into how to write extension functions for that particular implementation.
I used it a number of times with Saxon 8.7 http://robbypelssers.blogspot.nl/2012/10/creating-unix-timestamp-with-xslt20.html http://robbypelssers.blogspot.nl/2011/09/power-of-apache-cocoon-xquery-and-xslt.html But i never tried with the latest version of Saxon which works differently.

Is it possible with Saxon/Xalan in C3 to invoke external Java function ? I can't get it working: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0" xmlns:utils="java:org.example.Utils" exclude-result-prefixes="utils"> <xsl:template match="Page"> <xsl:variable name="fileName" select="file"/> <Root> <xsl:value-of select="utils:exists($fileName)"/> </Root> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Tried Xalan, tried Saxon. Both generates some strange errors with XML Document. Greetings, Greg 2013/6/20 gelo1234 <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> The latest Saxon got the same _global_ variable context scope and doesn't allow overriding xsl:variables. OK, I will fix that :) Greetings, Greg 2013/6/20 gelo1234 <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Thank you! I will try to bring back Saxon :) Greetings, Greg This was discused before in the mailing list [1], it's a two step process * Add saxon dependency to pom file. [2] I think it's better to try Saxon directly if you used to work with it. Xalan is usually faster but as you have to migrate already made templates from Saxon IMO it's better to switch the engine.
