Xalan offers mechanisms to call an external procedural code written in Java. Here is documentation for that, http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/extensions.html
You could use this extension mechanism provided by Xalan, to write your own custom functions, which you could call from the XSLT stylesheet. I wrote a related blog post, about this some time ago. Here's the link for that [1]: http://mukulgandhi.blogspot.com/2009/11/xslt-10-regular-expression-string.html Hope this [1] could be of some help too :) On Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 12:23 PM, xunlong gui <ustbco...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I use xalan to convert one XML document to another format, my XML document > format is so complex that i have to use xpath 2.0 function (such as function > ends-with) to finish my job.But as we know, xalan support XPath 1.0 > functions only.
