Al -- I'm not sure of your exact environment. However, you should be able to instantiate the extension function object from your Servlet and then pass that object into XalanJ as a parameter. From there, your stylesheet can receive the parameter and call methods on it. In your Servlet, you could store your context information in instance fields of the extension function object or in the page context and store a reference to the page context in an instance field.
