Hi Chris, Not standard EXSLT functions, but I have loaded extension functions under 2.1.
I’ve just consulted my archives (2006!)… Firstly, I used a .xweb patch file patch Cocoon’s servlet configuration, in order to pre-load my extension classes using Cocoon's load-class init-param; this was because doing it lazily at run-time created a class-loader race-condition under high load, which caused a random extension class to be called on production, and thus randomly fail with a NoSuchMethod exception, which was perplexing to say the least (so I mention this so you don’t have the same problem!): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xweb xpath="/web-app/servlet[servlet-name='Cocoon']/init-param[param-name='load-class']/param-value" remove="/web-app/servlet[servlet-name='Cocoon']/init-param[param-name='load-class']/param-value/text()" > <!-- pre-load classes used as XSLT extensions to prevent classloader race-condition under high load --> com.xxx.xml.exslt.Dates com.xxx.xml.exslt.FileUtils </xweb> etc. This goes into cocoon's src/confpatch directory as e.g. load-class.xweb and patches web.xml, unless you build it some other way. Then you just write a simple POJO with static methods to do your functionality, e.g. I had a little function for finding a local file-size: package com.xxx.xml.exslt; import java.io.File; public class FileUtils { /** * returns the size of a file rounded to the nearest Kilobyte. * @param fileName * @return the file size in KB, or 0 if file not accessible. */ public static long Size(String fileName) { File file = new File(fileName); return ((file.length()+512)/1024); } } Then to use this from the XSL, you just declare a namespace with the full class name as the URI, and use the prefix and method name as you would use any other function e.g.: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:file=“com.xxx.xml.exslt.FileUtils”> <xsl:template match=“something”> Size = <xsl:value-of select="file:Size($path)"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Hope that works for you: it’s been a long long time since I did anything Cocoony...
