With DirXML, you can call standard Java classes or self-created classes from Jar files from any stylesheet that is located in the SYS:SYSTEM\LIB directory on a NetWare server, or from the \NOVELL\NDS\LIB directory on a Windows NT/2000 server.
Within the stylesheet, you need to declare a new name space, which is used to address the class. You then create a class instance by calling the constructor method. To use this method, you must pass the new class instance as well as any required parameters.
Below is an example of such a process:
<!--declare name space in template-->
<xsl:template name="getCN" xmlns:gta String="http://www.novell.com/nxsl/java/ com.novell.gta.String2dn">
<!--create new class instance-->
<xsl:variable name="instance" select="gtaString:new()"/>
<!--call method with instance name-->
<xsl:variable name="cn" select="gtaString:getcn($instance,$dn)"/>
