Thanks, all, for the great suggestions. Am juggling several balls at the moment but will try this stuff out in the next few days and let you know how it goes. ********************************* John F. Wade, PE EDS Proposal Manager

(MSFC-NAS902099)[TBE]; Kevin Cormier Cc: xalan-j-users@xml.apache.org Subject: RE: Xalan extension functions It's not Monday anymore. Oh well. Here's the test case java code. It does exactly nothing. Import java.util.*; public class MyTest { public MyTest() {} } The namespace and component definitions are: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml xmlns:doc=http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0 exclude-result-prefixes="doc" xmlns:xalan=http://xml.apache.org/xalan xmlns:mytest="MyTest" extension-element-prefixes="mytest" version="1.0"> <xalan:component prefix="mytest" functions="MyTest"> <xalan:script lang="javaclass" src="xalan://MyTest/"/> </xalan:component> Down in one of the templates I've added a line that says: <xsl:value-of select="mytest:MyTest()"/> And the error I get is: (Location of error unknown)XSLT Error (javax.xml.transform.TransformerException): javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Instance method call to method MyTest requires an Object instance as first argument ...which isn't the error I remember getting last time I tried this, but one thing at a time. Suggestions? ********************************* John F. Wade, PE MSFC EO20 - TBE ________________________________ From: Wade, John F.

I'm a real beginner at this, and the environment I'm working with has two variants, so I'm not sure how to determine what the classpath is in each case. But, we'll start with the stylesheet and JAVA code on Monday and go from there. Thanks.

Could you send your stylesheet and Java class, and also show how you invoked the transformation and what the full error message was?
