The EXSLT dynamic extensions (e.g. evaluate) are not supported in XSLTC.

translets refuse to work with the
evaluate() extension, both Xalan
and exslt versions
Hi,
I?m trying to use xalan-j-2-5-2 to transform with an XSLT that uses the
evaluate() extension. This works with the default transformer, but not
with translets. Whenever I try to use a translet I get the error: 'Cannot
find external method 'org.apache.xalan.lib.Extensions.evaluate' (must be
public).' for xalan:evaluate(), and the error: 'The first argument to the
non-static Java function 'evaluate' is not a valid object reference.' for
dyn:evaluate().
Here are the XML and XSL files I wrote to test this:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<TestElement>
<data someAttribute="5"/>
<data someAttribute="10"/>
</TestElement>
<xsl:stylesheet version = '1.0'
xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'
xmlns:xalan='http://xml.apache.org/xalan'
xmlns:dyn="http://exslt.org/dynamic";>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of
select="xalan:evaluate('//TestElement/data[1]/@someAttribute')"/>
<xsl:value-of
select="dyn:evaluate('//TestElement/data[1]/@someAttribute')"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
For transforming without tranlets I used the SimpleTransform sample program
that comes with xalan-j, and for tranlets I used
JAXPTranletOneTransformation. I?m using J2SE 1.4.2 and J2EE 1.4 final,
with the endorsed xalan jars. SimpleTransform works,
JAXPTranletOneTransformation doesn?t, though it works if the evaluate()
extension calls are taken out. Following is the result of running java
org.apache.xalan.xslt.EnvironmentCheck:
