Facing problem in XSLT transformation

Question

Hi all,
I m new bie to XSLT n transformation. I have written a simple java program that uses the javax.xml.transform and javax.xml.parsers package to transform source file using a XSL file provided.
When I excuted the program providing XSLT file that worked fine and transformed the XML but when I modified the XSLT and using Xpath functions, I m getting following exception :
ERROR: 'Cannot find class 'xpath-functions'.'
FATAL ERROR: 'Could not compile stylesheet'
javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: Could not compile stylesheet
at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl.newTemplates(TransformerFactoryImpl.java:824)
at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl.newTransformer(TransformerFactoryImpl.java:613)
at transformXML.main(transformXML.java:33)
This is my XSLT file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions"
xmlns:xdt="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-datatypes">
     <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
     <xsl:template match="/">
          <Listfaultinterfaceslot>
               <xsl:variable name="current_date" select="fn:string(fn:current-date())"/>
               <!-- Get the components of the current date -->
               <xsl:variable name="day">
                    <xsl:value-of select="fn:substring($current_date,9,2)"/>
               </xsl:variable>
               <xsl:variable name="month">
                    <xsl:value-of select="fn:substring($current_date,6,2)"/>
               </xsl:variable>
               <xsl:variable name="year">
                    <xsl:value-of select="fn:substring($current_date,1,4)"/>
               </xsl:variable>
               <xsl:variable name="formatted_date">
                    <xsl:value-of select="$month"/>
                    <xsl:text>/</xsl:text>
                    <xsl:value-of select="$day"/>
                    <xsl:text>/</xsl:text>
                    <xsl:value-of select="$year"/>
               </xsl:variable>
               <!-- Finally output the slots-->
               <AppointmentSlot>
                    <xsl:attribute name="AppointmentSlotNo">1</xsl:attribute>
                    <xsl:attribute name="ExternalAppointmentSlotStart">
                    <xsl:value-of select="$formatted_date"/>
                         <xsl:text> 08:00:00</xsl:text>
                    </xsl:attribute>
                    <xsl:attribute name="ExternalAppointmentSlotEnd">
                    <xsl:value-of select="$formatted_date"/>
                    <xsl:text> 13:00:00</xsl:text>
                    </xsl:attribute>
               </AppointmentSlot>
               <AppointmentSlot>
                    <xsl:attribute name="AppointmentSlotNo">2</xsl:attribute>
                    <xsl:attribute name="ExternalAppointmentSlotStart">
                    <xsl:value-of select="$formatted_date"/>
                    <xsl:text> 13:00:00</xsl:text>
                    </xsl:attribute>
                    <xsl:attribute name="ExternalAppointmentSlotEnd">
                    <xsl:value-of select="$formatted_date"/>
                    <xsl:text> 18:00:00</xsl:text>
                    </xsl:attribute>
               </AppointmentSlot>
          </Listfaultinterfaceslot>
     </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Please look into this n let me know the reason.
Thanks alot

thanks for response buddy.
I am using the Java 5 SDK and package " javax.xml.transform" to get transformer. As per my undestanding, Java 5 Sdk has xalan transformer.
This is my code:
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.*;
import java.io.File;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
public class transformXML
     public static void main(String[] args)
          System.out.println("Hello World!");
          String inputFile = args[0];
          String styleFile = args[1];
          String outFile = args[2];
          File sourceFileName = new File(inputFile);
          File stylesheet = new File(styleFile);
          File transformFileName = new File(outFile);
          DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
try {
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = builder.parse(sourceFileName);
StreamSource stylesource = new StreamSource(stylesheet);
TransformerFactory xfFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
     Transformer transformer = xfFactory.newTransformer(stylesource);
//transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "2");
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(document);
     StreamResult result = new StreamResult(transformFileName);
transformer.transform(source,result);
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
//throw new Exception("Error transforming XML - " + e.getMessage());
               System.out.println("Error transforming XML - " + e.getMessage());
I m looking for whether Java provided xalan transformer supports XSLT 2.0 or not. If u found any solution please let me know.
many thanks,
Omesh
