[ba-ohs-talk] Using Java in XSLT

" As evidenced by the inclusion of JAXP in J2EE 1.3, XSLT and XML will
continue to prove integral to many J2EE applications. Because J2EE
developers will be occasionally asked to create stylesheets, they should
understand the possibilities provided by XSLT Java extensions. Xalan's Java
extension capability provides Java developers with a mechanism to process
input from a stylesheet and return DOM fragments or String s to the XSLT
processor. This capability allows developers to break XSLT limitations and
take full advantage of Java's flexibility. Developers can tackle many more
transformation challenges without becoming XSLT gurus. In other words, with
the help of Java extensions, we can perform complex XML transformations and
continue to lead normal lives. " (02)
