Hello I am facing a problem using a very simple Java extension in XSLT. I have gone
through mailing list and forum archive and found similar problems earlier but none of
the solutions seem to help me. So just wanted to post the details here and see if anyone
can help me to figure out problem in my configuration / program Here are the details:
JDK: 1.5.0_08 Saxon: Tried with saxonb8-6, saxonb8-8j, and saxonsa8-8j Java code in
xslextension.java: public class xslextension { public static String say() { return
"hello"; } } XSL in sample.xsl: <?xml
version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:java="java:xslextension"
extension-element-prefixes="java"
version="2.0"> <xsl:output
method="html"/> <xsl:template
match="/"> <html> <body
bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <h3><xsl:value-of
select="java:say()"/></h3> </body>
</html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Java
Run command: java -classpath saxon8-dom.jar;xsltextension.jar -jar saxon8.jar -TJ
sample-xml.xml sample.xsl AND java -classpath .\xsltextension.jar -jar saxon8.jar -TJ
sample-xml.xml sample.xsl Error I get each time: Loading xslextension No Java class
xslextension could be loaded Error at xsl:value-of on line 15 of file:/sample.xsl:
XPST0003: XPath syntax error at char 10 on line 15 in {java:say()}: Cannot find a
matching 0-argument function named {java:xslextension}say() Failed to compile
stylesheet. 1 error detected. Thanks

When you use the -jar option on the command line, the classpath is ignored. If you
want the classpath to be available for dynamic loading, you must run Saxon using
"java net.sf.saxon.Transform".

I did not know that. Thanks a lot! That worked.
