How to call extension function from xpath multiple times?

Hi,

  I am working with the following xsl:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
xmlns:dit="Tester">
        <xsl:template match="a">
                <xsl:apply-templates 
select="*[dit:matchString('b_qstnmark_',local-name(.))]/a/*[dit:matchString('c_qstnmark_',local-name(.))]"/>
        </xsl:template>
        <xsl:template 
match="*[dit:matchString('b_qstnmark_',local-name(.))]/a/*[dit:matchString('c_qstnmark_',local-name(.))]">
                <xsl:value-of select="concat(local-name(.), ' - ', .)"/>
        </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The java class for the extension function i call is as follows:

import java.util.StringTokenizer;

public class Tester {
        public static boolean matchString(String pattern, String elemName) {
                int index = pattern.lastIndexOf("/");

                if(index != -1) {
                pattern = pattern.substring(index + 1);
                }

                pattern = pattern.replaceAll("_asterix_", "\\\\w*");
                pattern = pattern.replaceAll("_qstnmark_", "\\\\w");

                return java.util.regex.Pattern.matches(pattern, elemName);
        }
}

My problem is that the xpath of apply-templates above does not work. My 
template below never gets a call.

Any Help?
