Re: [xsl] XSLT Java Extensions

[Johannes Döbler <jd at aztecrider dot com>]

<xsl:value-of select="java:java.util.Calendar.get(YEAR)"/>

will invoke the static (non-existent) method "get" in class 
java.util.Calendar and pass as parameter the result of evaluating the 
child-axis-expression YEAR.

Try instead:

<xsl:value-of select="java:java.util.Calendar.get($tmp, 1)">

This will invoke the non-static method "get" on the Calendar object stored 
in variable $tmp and pass number 1 as parameter, which is the value of 
constant Calendar.YEAR.

regards,
Johannes
