Is it not possible to embed arbitrary Java code directly in an XSLT stylesheet using Xalan Extensions the same way you can with JavaScript? I was under the assumption that you could basically do the following: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet extension-element-prefixes="date-converter" version="1.0" xmlns:date-converter="http://www.company.com/dateConverter/1.0/"; xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan"; xmlns:xsl=" http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";> <!-- Xalan component for date conversion from CMS date format to RSS 2.0 pubDate format --> <xalan:component prefix="date-converter"> <xalan:script lang="javaclass" src="http://xml.apache.org/xalan/java";> package mine; public class MyConverter { public int convertDateJava(org.apache.xalan.extensions.ExpressionContext context, long time) { Date date = new Date(time); return "" + date.getMonth()+1 + "/" + date.getDay()+1 + "/" + date.getYear(); } } </xalan:script> </xalan:component> </xsl:stylesheet>
but it's looking like you have to have some Java class or function already on the classpath to call instead. Is this accurate? I guess this would make more given that the Xalan is probably not compiling code at runtime. I guess I'm just confirming at this point. Thanks, Bradley Wagner
