Hi Morris-

Well, if true, that would certainly be silly of me.  Not to mention
completely unexpected....

So I threw
  <out>    <xsl:copy-of select="xalan:checkEnvironment()"/>  </out>
into my xsl and commented the exslt calls:

<out xmlns:date="http://exslt.org/dates-and-times"; xmlns:set="http://exslt.org/sets"; xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan"; xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40";><checkEnvironmentExtension> <EnvironmentCheck version="$Revision: 1.7 $"> <environment> <item key="java.version">1.4.0</item> <foundJar desc="apparent.version" name="xalan.jar">xalan.jar WARNING.present-unknown-version</foundJar> <foundJar desc="path" name="xalan.jar">/usr/local/java/xalan/bin/xalan.jar</foundJar> <foundJar desc="apparent.version" name="crimson.jar">crimson.jar from jaxp-1.1</foundJar> <foundJar desc="path" name="crimson.jar">/usr/local/java/tomcat/lib/crimson.jar</foundJar> <foundJar desc="apparent.version" name="jaxp.jar">jaxp.jar from jaxp-1.1</foundJar> <foundJar desc="path" name="jaxp.jar">/usr/local/java/tomcat/lib/jaxp.jar</foundJar>

Looks like it is finding my installed 2.5.1 jars.

Then I set up an endorsed dir and tried things again.
checkEnvironment() reported _exactly_ the same as above.
And I get exactly the same error behavior reported in my original message.

A crimson/jaxp version problem due to using Tomcat 3.2.3?
Or perhaps a problem with JDK 1.4.0?

Thanks,

Everett

Hi folks-
Maybe I'm missing something but I can't seem to get exslt functions
to work with XalanJ 2.5.1.
I've declared the namespace:
   xmlns:set="http://exslt.org/sets";
I'm trying to setup a nodelist with:
   <xsl:variable name="orgs" select="set:distinct(//ORG)"/>
I get the following error:
javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException
For extension function, could not find method
org.apache.xpath.axes.DescendantIterator.distinct([ExpressionContext,] ).
This is on Tomcat 3.2.3, with JDK 1.4.0.

Mind you, I've been using Xalan for a couple of years without any problems.

Just for kicks, I tried something even more brain-dead:

xmlns:date="http://exslt.org/dates-and-times";
The following:
   <xsl:value-of select="date:dateTime()"/>
produces:
javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException:
Instance method call to method dateTime requires an Object instance as
first
argument
Which is pretty surprising considering that the API docs state:
static java.lang.String              dateTime()
    The date:date-time function returns the current date and time as a
    date/time string.
Soooo, what am I missing in using EXSLT functions?

TIA,

Everett
