You have a couple of options:
* "FOP" (actually Xalan) supports java calls. The syntax is horrible,
but it will give you access to the Date class, which is what you need
[1]. Not recommended unless you know what you are doing.
* You could pass the date in as a parameter to the XSLT.
* Do as Micheal suggests and use Saxon.
* Try using the date extension [2]. Don't know if Fop 0.94 supports this.
You haven't said if you are embedding FOP or calling in the command
line. I would recommend starting by giving the date extension a go.

Hello,
We are using Apache FOP 0.94, and would like to display the current
system date and time at the bottom of each page.
We tried <xsl:value-of select="current-date()"/> and <xsl:value-of
select="current-time()"/>.
Unfortunately, the Apache FOP error message is: could not find function:
current-date.
Whereas Saxon9 can easily carry out this transformation (but not the
formatting).
What would be the best strategy? to continue using Apache FOP, but to
display the current-date() and current-time().
Thank you,
Linas
