I'm pretty new to how XSLT works, how would I go about
calling outside java functions inside xsl? for example
turning this relative reference into an absolute using java
calls? Thanks!
It depends a little on the XSLT processor you are using. With Saxon and
JDK 1.4:
<img
style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 75px"
src="{uri:resolve(uri:new($urlpath), IMAGES/HEADER)}"
xmlns:uri="java:java.net.URI"/>
(Untested)
For details of how this works see

The above could be written
<img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 75px"
src="{$urlpath}/{IMAGES/HEADER}"/>
But do be aware that simple string concatenation is not really the
right approach for resolving a relative URI against a base URI. The
proper algorithm is described in RFC 2396. XPath 2.0 implements it
using a new
resolve-uri() function; in the meantime you might want to
consider doing
it by calling an extension function - for example the
relevant method in
JDK 1.4's java.net.URI class.
