I have a elemet in xsl file like this:
<xsl:value-of select="saxon:evaluate(concat('//xf:instance', @ref))"/>
when I generate to html ,there are exception below.
if I comment the "saxon:evaluate", it is OK running but out of my expectation.
JDK: IBM JDK1.4.1.
classpath:jdom.jar, xalan.jar, xercesImpl.jar, xml-apis.jar...

Thanks for any help!

Hi,

saxon:evaluate is a Saxon extension and you are using Xalan. You need to use Saxon if you want to use its extensions.

Thanks very much!
