RE: Using xquery-operators in XSLT's

XSLT 2.0 provides the same set of functions and operators as XQuery 1.0.

The default XSLT processor with JDOM only implements XSLT 1.0. However, you can also use Saxon with JDOM, and Saxon implements XSLT 2.0. (Saxon also implements XQuery, so you can use that if you prefer).

However, you have (like many people) misunderstood the nature of the functions in the op: namespace. These exist purely for specification reasons, they are not exposed directly to users. Instead, the functions underpin operators, in this case the subtraction operator "-" when applied to two values of type xs:dateTime respectively.

Another point: you are trying to apply the function to values of the wrong type. You need to do something like:

xs:dateTime(sgp4:SGP4Set/sgp4:startDateTime) - xs:dateTime(sgp4:SGP4Set/sgp4:endDateTime)

Subject: [jdom-interest] Using xquery-operators in XSLT's

Given a startTime (dateTime), endTime (dateTime) and intervals (integer), I'm attempting to come up with dateTimes evenly spaced between the startTime and endTime. It seems that I need to use xquery-operators to do this since XSLT doesn't seem to provide the kind of date manipulation I need. When I try to run this, I get an error (also below).

Am I going about this the correct way, or is there a better way to do this? Does JDOM provide support for xquery-operators in XSLT? If not, is there another way to get these time intervals? Or should I be using another processor for this? On a slightly related node, position() works, but fn:position() doesn't. Is this a XSLT 1.0 vs 2.0 thing?

Thanks,

Charles
