HI friends,
need help in XSLT 1.0 to get the current system date
Any help is highly appreciated.

I have done the below that I read from other posts but without any luck.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" >
<xsl:template name="today"
xmlns:cal="java:java.util.GregorianCalendar">
<xsl:variable name="rightNow" select="cal:getInstance()" />
<!-- The Calendar class uses zero-based months;
i.e. January is month 0, February is month 1, and
so on. We have to add one to get the customary month
number. -->
<xsl:variable name="month" select="cal:get($rightNow, 2) + 1" />
<xsl:variable name="day" select="cal:get($rightNow, 5)" />
<xsl:variable name="year" select="cal:get($rightNow, 1)" />
<xsl:value-of
select="$year" />-<xsl:value-of
select="$month" />-<xsl:value-of
select="$day" />



<xsl:element name="CurrDate">
<xsl:attribute name="TodayDate">
<xsl:value-of select="$rightNow"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>


</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="today">
<xsl:element name="CurrDate">
<xsl:attribute name="TodayDate">
<xsl:value-of select="rightNow"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

is only possible with saxon and xalan

with browser not tested

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<time>
</time>

months are not all defined

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:cal="xalan://java.util.GregorianCalendar" version="1.0">
	<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:variable name="tmp" select="cal:new()"/>
		<xsl:variable name="month" select="cal:get($tmp, 2) + 1"/>
		<xsl:variable name="day" select="cal:get($tmp, 5)"/>
		<xsl:variable name="year" select="cal:get($tmp, 1)"/>
		<!--xsl:value-of select="cal:get($tmp, 1)" /><xsl:value-of select="$day" /><xsl:value-of select="$month" /-->
		<root>
			<xsl:element name="dateform">
				<xsl:attribute name="date"><xsl:value-of select="$day"/>/<xsl:value-of select="$month"/>/<xsl:value-of select="$year"/></xsl:attribute>
			</xsl:element>
			<xsl:element name="dateform">
				<xsl:attribute name="date">
					<xsl:value-of select="concat($day,'/',$month,'/',$year)"/>
				</xsl:attribute>
			</xsl:element>
			<xsl:element name="dateform">
				<xsl:element name="date">
					<xsl:value-of select="concat($day,'/',$month,'/',$year)"/>
				</xsl:element>
				<xsl:element name="date">
					<xsl:value-of select="concat($day,'-')"/>
					<xsl:choose>
						<xsl:when test="number($month)=1">
							<xsl:text>Januar</xsl:text>
						</xsl:when>
						<xsl:when test="number($month)=2">
							<xsl:text>Februar</xsl:text>
						</xsl:when>
						<xsl:when test="number($month)=3">
							<xsl:text>März</xsl:text>
						</xsl:when>
						<xsl:when test="number($month)=4">
							<xsl:text>April</xsl:text>
						</xsl:when>
					</xsl:choose>
					<xsl:value-of select="concat('-',$year)"/>
				</xsl:element>
			</xsl:element>
		</root>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

result

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root xmlns:cal="xalan://java.util.GregorianCalendar">
   <dateform date="19/4/2009"/>
   <dateform date="19/4/2009"/>
   <dateform>
      <date>19/4/2009</date>
      <date>19-April-2009</date>
   </dateform>
</root>
