Using Java in XSL

This is how xalan which is the default implementation of JAXP includes java in XSL. In this example I use the java java.net.URLEncoder to in URL encode my node and well as appending the date using java.util.Date.
Here is an excellent site about this topic: http://cafeconleche.org/books/xmljava/chapters/ch17s03.html

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII" ?>

<tests><test>m m=m</test></tests>

XSL

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" omit-xml-declaration="no" indent="yes" />

<xsl:template match="tests" xmlns:date="xalan://java.util.Date" xmlns:encoder="xalan://java.net.URLEncoder"
<xsl:value-of select="encoder:encode(string(test))"/>
<xsl:value-of select="date:new()" />
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
