RE: passing and retrieving parameter to a template

I am using xalan to tranform an XML document with XSL.  XML is actually an
XSD document that refers to a namespace I have created.  xalan is throwing
exception - it fails to recognize the other namespace I have created.
XMLSpy does the transformation just fine.  Do I need to set something to
make things work.  

Here is the exception trace:

file:///u01/artesia/teamsdne/jamalsandbox/GenericXSL5.xsl; Line 20; Column
153; XSLT Error (javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException):
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Extra illegal tokens: ':',
'template', '/', '/u01/artesia/teamsdne/jamalsandbox/constraints2.xsd', ':',
'constrainedElement', '[', '@', 'name', '=', '$', 'sectionShortName', ']',
'/', '/u01/artesia/teamsdne/jamalsandbox/constraints2.xsd', ':',
'constraint', '/', '@', 'label'

I will really appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks
