Gary,
Ok. I got your sample to work also and now I know why...
There are 2 things different with your sample...
1. You use the xsl:variable option in which you place the select as the
attribute in the xsl:variable element name instead of in the element body.
That is, you used:
<xsl:variable name="myRTF" select='Ext:getMyXMLStr()'/>
and this works, however...
<xsl:variable name="myRTF">
<xsl:value-of select='Ext:getMyXMLStr()'/>
</xsl:variable>
does NOT, and I thought the two forms of declaration were equivalent.
2. Also, you don't use the top level element name in the XPATH call, that
is, you used...
<xsl:value-of select="$myRTF/ELEM1/ELEM1A"/>
instead of...
<xsl:value-of select="$myRTF/MYDOCUMENT/ELEM1/ELEM1A"/>
which surprised me! The second form is the correct one if you use the
document() function to pull in an XML file from a URI, that is, if my
declaration for getting the xml file had been...
<xsl:variable name="client" select="document('simple2.xml')"/>
and this contained the same data as before, you would need to use
$myRTF/MYDOCUMENT/...
Is this difference from the document() function an implementation
interpretation issue, a peculiarity of the spec, or a mistake?
Thanks for your help...I'm 'unblocked' now...

I just copied the extension function verbatim from your email and it
works fine. I'm using the following stylesheet:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1' ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:Ext="node1"
xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan";
exclude-result-prefixes="Ext xalan">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="myRTF" select='Ext:getMyXMLStr()'/>
<xsl:value-of select="$myRTF/ELEM1/ELEM1A"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
If you can't figure out the problem, please send along your exact
stylesheet, input document, and stack trace of the exception that you're
receiving.
Thanks,
Gary
