At least apache says:

http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/extensions.html#supported-lang

Extensions written in Java are directly supported by Xalan-Java. For
extensions written in languages other than Java, Xalan-Java uses the Bean
Scripting Framework (BSF), an architecture for incorporating scripting
into Java applications and applets. BSF allows an application to take
advantage of scripting while being independent of any specific scripting
language. To date, we have tested extensions implemented in JavaScript.
Other languages with BSF support appear in the table below.

BSF requires bsf.jar on the classpath. This JAR file is shipped with
Xalan-Java and is required only if you have extensions written in
languages other than Java. The additional JAR files or DLLs required to
support extensions written in other languages are listed in the table
below. These files are available from the sources indicated and are not
shipped with Xalan-Java.

Cheers,
Jarkko
