Hi Henry, Thanks for you response. I did try to use the ExpressionContext object by calling the getVariableOrParam() function but it didn't find the param I set on the transformer (can't remember the exact message but I can look it up) with the setParameter() function.
Regarding the portability, what woulf be the correct (portable) way to pass an object to an extension ?
