xsl java extensions won't work in tomcat

[David . Schneider]

hi all,

i have an xsl stylesheet that includes calls to a java class of my own
devising.  when i call this stylesheet via the command line (bypassing
tomcat), everything works just swell.  However, when the same thing is
called from within a jsp page, i get the following error:

Call to extension function failed: File
"file:/home/dschneid/cvs/cms/rosebud20/com/thestreet/cms/stylesheet/com.thestreet.cms.stylesheet.StylesheetDBHandler"

not found.

inside the stylesheet i have

http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:lxslt="http://xml.apache.org/xslt"
xmlns:dbhandler
="com.thestreet.cms.stylesheet.StylesheetDBHandler"
extension-element-prefixes="dbhandler"
version="1.0">

at the top and



inside a template rule.

the stylesheet and the class file are in the same directory.

i am using tomcat 3.1 standalone (port 8080), jdk 1.2.2, xerces 1.1.2,
xalan 1.2 on a sun solaris box.

any (and all) help is greatly appreciated.

That is the key point. Web resources such as style sheets, images, 
applet class files can NOT be served from the WEB-INF/ directories
The simplest thing to do is to specify a  URL pointing to
a URL where these resources live.
