Subject: Converting from datetime in milliseconds to a specific format in XSL

Using Xalan-Java and XSLT, I am trying to convert date from an input xml that has it expressed as a single number (in milliseconds) e.g. the input xml has 1088499889000 that corresponds to the date 2004-06-29 09:04:49.000GMT.

Doing this conversion within java is simple. To try and do this within XSLT, I looked up extensions like XSLT-SL and EXSLT - but they do not seem to have functions for this. Are there any extensions available that I could use for this conversion?

Alternatively I saw that Xalan-J allows calls to java functions from XSL. So an option is to convert the numeric date by calls to Java api. But restrictions on parameter-types in such calls introduce difficulty here.

Is there any other/better/easier way to do this? If making Java calls from XSL is to be used, how bad would be the performance impact of that?
