Hi, Everett
I think you are actually using an older version of Xalan packaged in JDK
1.4. Please read this FAQ
(http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/faq.html#faq-N100CB) or use EnvironmentCheck
to find out which version of Xalan is picked up by your environment.

Subject: EXSLT problem - XalanJ 2.5.1

Hi folks-
Maybe I'm missing something but I can't seem to get exslt functions
to work with XalanJ 2.5.1.
I've declared the namespace:
xmlns:set="http://exslt.org/sets";
I'm trying to setup a nodelist with:
<xsl:variable name="orgs" select="set:distinct(//ORG)"/>
I get the following error:
javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException
For extension function, could not find method
org.apache.xpath.axes.DescendantIterator.distinct([ExpressionContext,] ).
This is on Tomcat 3.2.3, with JDK 1.4.0.
Mind you, I've been using Xalan for a couple of years without any problems.
Just for kicks, I tried something even more brain-dead:
xmlns:date="http://exslt.org/dates-and-times";
The following:
<xsl:value-of select="date:dateTime()"/>
produces:
javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException:
Instance method call to method dateTime requires an Object instance as
first
argument
Which is pretty surprising considering that the API docs state:
static java.lang.String dateTime()
The date:date-time function returns the current date and time as a
date/time string.
Soooo, what am I missing in using EXSLT functions?
TIA,
Everett
