Hi, I'm trying to pass some XML from my XSLT stylesheet to a user-defined static Java method, preferrebly as some kind of DOM node. I saw a few posts in this forum where it looks like people have gotten it to work just by declaring the method parameter as a org.w3c.dom.Node or org.w3c.dom.Document. Well I've tried this an many more things, but nothing works for me. I always get... "Cannot convert supplied XPath value to the required type for the extension function" exceptions. Let's take a simple example.... <xsl:variable name="javaTestVar"> <xml> <element value="a"/> <element value="b"/> </xml> </xsl:variable> What if I want to get $javaTestVar into my Java class as a DOM element? What should I do? Assuming this is no longer possible, I'd be fine with passing the XML as a String and constructing my own DOM. However, I don't even know how to do that. When I declare the parameter as String, I only get the inner text of the XML. I'm using Saxon 8.4. Any ideas? Thanks!
