Hi John,
I have bunch of extension functions that I have coded and used in XSLT in
pur project. If yu want I can help yu throught netmeeting.
It would help yu to see the different mappings from java to XSL types
too. This would solve problem . This would help you to implement advanced
XSL and use them interactively to solve problems.
My contact details are: 408-688-4493.
Thanks
Sushy

Kevin,
Your test case pointed me in a helpful direction. I'm still hitting a wall
trying to add a custom extension function, however the available java
functions may do it for me.
As a way of learning enough to apply java.lang.replaceAll(), I'm trying to
figure out how to use java.lang.replace() within an XSL.
I have defined xmlns:MT="xalan://java.lang.String"
Then I have this in my XSL:
<xsl:variable name="ue" select="MT:new('xyz world')"/>
<xsl:variable name="target" select="'xyz'"/>
<xsl:variable name="replace" select="'Hello,'"/>
<xsl:variable name="hello"
select="MT:replace($ue,$target,$replace)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$hello"/>
The replace is only affecting the first character. ??
I have a feeling that my lack of java understanding is getting in the way
here...

Well, here's an example that I've actually tried and it works:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:test ="xalan://java.lang.StringBuffer" version="1.0"> <xsl:template
match="/">
<xsl:variable name="text" select="test:new()"/>
<xsl:variable name="moreText" select="test:append($text, 'Hello
world!')"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$moreText"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
If it doesn't work for you, then perhaps you're using an outdated version of
Xalan with a bug. If it does - then yes, probably a problem with your
classpath.
