No
problem here. You should use org.apace.xpath.XPathAPI or
CachedXPathAPI.

This
is unfortunetely not possible in the moment. Please refer
to:
for
the proposed extension mechanism that would allow this
functionality.
To try
this, you'll have to retrieve CVS state on 2003-04-04 to apply these changes and
recompile Xalan.
You
can contact me via Xalan's mail list (as I originated this report) to clarify
ideas used in it.
Hello everyone,
First I will say that I'm totally new to
Xalan.
Here is my question.
In fact, I would like to use Xalan only for its
Xpath capabilities.
I have an XML file and would like to use the
Xpath functions to 'query' this document without using any XSL capabilities
(so without any stylesheet). I just to use the Xalan XPath API from myu
own Java code.
I don't think it should be a problem
???
However, in my case, I need to have an
ends-with() functions. As it does not exist in the XPath specification I
assume it does not exist in Xalan either (I may be wrong since I haven't used
Xalan yet but I read many times that Xalan followed the W3C
specs,so..).
More, I've read on the Xalan web-site that it was
possible to extend the core library of functions that XPath
provides.
I was wondering if it was possible to 'declare'
my ends-with() function and use it in my XPath _expression_ using the Xalan
Xpath APIs as well as if it was a native function (like for example
/doc/param[ends-with(@name,'lan')]) ?
Thanks in advance,
J�r�me.
