Re: Extension element content

Ken, I had to do a bit of hunting in the Xalan API but I found the 
TransformerImpl.transformToString() method:

The following snippet worked for me:
-------------------------
String elemValue = "";
TransformerImpl transf = XSLPC.getTransformer();
try{
   elemValue = transf.transformToString(EEC);
} catch (TransformerException e){}
-------------------------
