The Xalan mailing list is pretty easy to find with google: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=xalan+mailing+list This will get you closer: http://xml.apache.org/mail.html#xalan-j-users Josh -----Original Message----- From: Barry Lay [mailto:blay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, June 05, 2004 11:26 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Javascript in Xsl using-Xalan-Problem I can explain why I did it, although I take Michael Kay's point that there is probably a better forum for the question. I originally created JavaScript extension functions to do manipulation of strings within a document. In my case I was taking the XML version of an ERwin logical database model and creating Java code to wrap the database objects described therein. The XML ERwin generates is fairly convoluted and so XSL seemed like the appropriate tool for processing it. XSL does not appear to have good string handling though. I discoved that MSXML supports JScript and this seemed like a good compromise. When I converted my project over from Visual Basic to Java I ran into the problem that my stylesheets with their embedded JavaScript extension functions would no longer work. I am now in the process of converting all of that string processing code to pure XSL, although I am concerned that the result will be more complex and thus harder to extend and debug. Another reason for mixing XSL and a scripting language is that you can potentially have non-XSL experts manage changes in a large project, much as you can split web design up into graphical design and data processing by using Struts (for example) and get the appropriate expertise applied in those quite different domains. I will be quite happy to move my question over to the appropriate forum if someone could provide a path to it.
