It's not a question of Xalan not being "smart enough to pull in the
extensions" -- that's how xsl:include and xsl:import work.
You will likely need XInclude to do what you want to do. You could also
experiment with using a stylesheet to transform your stylesheets to add the
necessary stuff.

Hey.
I am working on a project which uses a LOT of Xalan extensions within a
number
of stylesheets. There are about 15 extensions and maybe 50 or 60
stylesheets.
The problem is that everytime I want to use an extenion I have to add the
following code:
Add the attributes to xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:lxslt="http://xml.apache.org/xslt";
xmlns:marks="
http://schemas.openprivacy.org/reptile/extensions/marks";
extension-element-prefixes="marks"
Then add the following under xsl:stylesheet:
<lxslt:component prefix="marks"
functions="isRead">
<lxslt:script lang="javaclass" src
="org.openprivacy.reptile.extensions.Marks"/>
</lxslt:component>
Duplicating this code in multiple places is a bad idea because it increases
maintenance and could potentially introduce bugs:
I had the idea of putting all my stylesheets under
PROJECT_HOME/xsl/extensions
This way if I wanted to use a stylesheet I could just do a:
<xsl:include href="resource:/xsl/extension/marks.xsl"/>
The only problem is that Xalan isn't smart enough to pull in the
extensions. It
only pulls in xsl:template rules.
Any idea? XInclude looks like it might help me but it would need to be
integrated into Xerces before Xalan was able to see the file.
Any idea?????
