In one xslt I found namespace as xmlns:ns="http://www.sometext.co.jp/ns" but this url returns 404 error and there is no url mapping in tomcat container.
Could anyone please let me know how and where I found the namespace file and the function defined in it.

Namespaces don't have to point to actual pages. – user253751 Sep 21 '15 at 07:05

Namespace names only look like an URI (by convention) but they can be nearly any arbitrary name. An excerpt from the linked wiki page:
A namespace name is a uniform resource identifier (URI). Typically, the URI chosen for the namespace of a given XML vocabulary describes a resource under the control of the author or organization defining the vocabulary, such as a URL for the author's Web server. However, the namespace specification does not require nor suggest that the namespace URI be used to retrieve information; it is simply treated by an XML parser as a string.
That simply means that you cannot expect to fetch anything from that URL.
