Yes, it extends org.apache.xpath.functions.Function. I managed to get it function properly (a lot of tweaking in the definition files xpath/ compiler/) and the only hurdle now is to convert your function to an Xalan 2.7.0 function. I'll be back at work on thursday so I'll let you know what comes out.

Cheers,

Jeroen,
although the method org.apache.xpath.compiler.Functiontable.installFunction (String name, Class func) has an array with the name m_functions_customer, I don't think this is a public API. It may be public in the Java sense, but
that is probably due to it being using in a different package.

That said, from what I can see from another method in Functiontable used later on to retrieve the XPath functions, that the Class passed in must
directly or indirectly extend org.apache.xpath.functions.Function:

Function getFunction(int which)
          throws javax.xml.transform.TransformerException
  {
          try{
              if (which < NUM_BUILT_IN_FUNCS)
                  return (Function) m_functions[which].newInstance();
              else
                  return (Function) m_functions_customer[
                      which-NUM_BUILT_IN_FUNCS].newInstance();
          }catch (IllegalAccessException ex){
                  throw new TransformerException(ex.getMessage());
          }catch (InstantiationException ex){
                  throw new TransformerException(ex.getMessage());
          }
  }

Is your class extending org.apache.xpath.functions.Function?

Subject Adding an XPath Function in Xalan
                                       2.7.0










Hi,

I'm trying to add an XPath function to Xalan 2.7.0. The function itself
compiled without any problems but using
org.apache.xpath.compiler.Functiontable.installFunction yields errors I
can't come by.

Is the installFunction usable at the moment and if so, can anyone please
supply me with a small example of the call?

Thanks in advance.
