[Portfolio] Use of xalan:evaluate

[Noah Botimer]

This is black magic. I would try to see if you can accomplish what you need with something like this rather than relying on extensions:

<xsl:variable name="someValue">
	<xsl:call-template name="someTemplate"/>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:template name="someTemplate>
	<xsl:choose.....>
	...
	</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:value-of select="$someValue" />

If you really can't get there, you may be able to add a custom method to the XsltFunctions extension in Sakai.

Thanks,
-Noah

I've done some googling and from what I can tell this is possible if I can use the xalan:evaluate.  I'm getting an uncaught exception when I add this into my stylesheet.  Has anyone used this before?  If so, how I can do what I need to do?
