Function-available() currently has a problem detecting extension functions
(http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14149). Although
function-available does not return a correct value, you can still use all
supported extension functions directly.
For question 2, this usage is generally OK. I am not sure whether
str:replace template will work correctly with Xalan. The only way you can
tell is to try it out and see if it gives you the correct result.

Subject: Newbie questions: How
do I get to EXSLT functionality in XALAN?

Two questions:
1) I'm using xalan-j_2_5_D1 on Win2K
I am trying to use the EXSLT functions - the str XSL functions in
particular. I am not having much luck with XALAN
recognizing any of the "exsl:xyz" or "str:xyz" references
After reading the doc on Extensions and Extension Libraray, I have in my
CLASSPATH: xalan.jar; xml-apis.jar; xercesImpl.jar, bsf.jar (where is
js.jar, btw?). Do I need anything else in the my classpath? or anything in
some config area?
I wrote the xsl test script below.. The ONLY function that reports its
available is "xalan:nodeset". None of the other functions below are found.
This is probably something really silly I'm overlooking. Any help would be
appreciated.
2) Also, assuming I get past the above problem.. Reading through the xalan
EXSLT support docs, it appears that str:replace in particular is not yet
supported natively in xalan. I am planning on copying over
str.replace.template.xsl from the EXSLT str.zip to the dir containing my
other XSL scripts and importing it as follows.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:str="http://exslt.org/strings";
extension-element-prefixes="str">
<xsl:import href="str/functions/replace/str.replace.template.xsl" />
<<< Use the str:replace function here >>>
Is this the right way? Or is there a better approach? Thx.
Ashok
