Vishal,
Xalan in the JDK is a compiler (XSLTC) and as such it tries to
resolve as much as it can statically. As a result, there are some
limitations. The discussion and resolution in [1] may help.

Hi,
Apparently, Xalan (the one bundled with JDK 6 at-least) complains
when a java.util.Map is passed as a parameter to an XSLT stylesheet.
Assuming, I have a snippet of code as:
Map inputparam = new HashMap();
inputparam.put("greeting", "hi there");
transformer.setParameter("inputparam", inputparam);
...
transformer.transform(...);
and I have a simple XSLT that attempts to get the key 'greeting'
from this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:map="xalan://java.util.HashMap"
extension-element-prefixes="map">
<xsl:param name="inputparam" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="greeting"
select="map:get($inputparam, 'greeting')" />
<greeting><xsl:value-of select="greeting"/></greeting>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I obtain the following error:
ERROR: 'Cannot find external method 'java.util.HashMap.get' (must
be public).'
FATAL ERROR: 'Could not compile stylesheet'
javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: Could not
compile stylesheet

Is there a way to solve this? Is this supported?
All help/advice appreciated!
Thanks & Regards,
