I have xalan 2.6 in my classpath. Any idea how can I fix this error? I am working on Solaris.

Thanks

Check that you are passing correct parameters to installFunction:
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/apidocs/org/apache/xpath/compiler/FunctionTable.html

It's signature is: installFunction(java.lang.String name, java.lang.Class func)

As you can see it should be a string and then a class, not org.apache.xpath.Expression type. You can try calling the .getClass() method of your org.apache.xpath.Expression variable.

Thanks mwvisa1. But Xalan-2.6.0 has over-ridden installFunction methods as :

1) installFunction(String, Expression). This one matches with the call we are making.

2) installFunction(Expression , int)

What you are talking about is in Xalan-2.7.1. I am working on 2.6.0.

looks like a different version of the XPath library precedes the intended version in CLASSPATH!
how do you run the application?
