[oXygen-user] oXygen and EXSLT

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

If you can't use XSLT 2.0 which has built-in support for 
regular expressions you have to import the EXSLT regexp 
extension in an XSLT 1.0 stylesheet but you have to use 
MSXML or Xalan in oXygen.

For MSXML the EXSLT stylesheets need a modification: import 
the MSXML stylesheet directly instead of the wrapper 
stylesheet that includes the MSXML stylesheet with a 
func:script element. For example for the EXSLT regexp 
replace stylesheet you have to import in your stylesheet 
directly regexp.replace.msxsl.xsl:

     <xsl:import href="regexp.replace.msxsl.xsl" />

instead of

     <xsl:import href="regexp.replace.xsl" />

which contains an element

    <func:script language="exslt:msxsl" 
implements-prefix="regexp" src="regexp.replace.msxsl.xsl"/>

as in the EXSLT example on the exslt.org website.

For Xalan you have to modify the EXSLT stylesheet to conform 
with the Xalan extension rules specified on the Xalan 
Extensions page:

http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/extensions.html#basic-pattern

The JavaScript code from the EXSLT stylesheets (for example 
regexp.replace.js) must be adapted to Xalan as in the 
example which you can find on the same Xalan page:

http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/extensions.html#ex-basic

You have to add bsf.jar (the Bean Scripting Framework) and 
js.jar (the Apache Rhino project) as XSLT extensions to the 
oXygen transformation scenario that processes your EXSLT 
enabled stylesheet with Xalan. These jar files are needed 
for adding a JavaScript extension to Xalan.

The oXygen User Manual describes how to set an XSLT 
extension in an oXygen transformation scenario:
