RE: Passing params to an extension element

[Paul Brady]

Thanks for your reply Morris. Yes, I tried that approach before, but I still
get the same result. The value of the parameter is not substituted. I get
"{$docletTemplate}". Is there a way to evaluate this from within my
extension?

Paul.

Hi, Paul

I think you need to use AVT (attribute value template) in a literal result
element. Please change  <dynamicTemplate:dynamicCallTemplate name
="$docletTemplate"> to <dynamicTemplate:dynamicCallTemplate name="
{$docletTemplate}">.

I get the same result when using v2.4.1.
The following piece of code works when evaluating local variables, but not
for parameters. Is there a similar way to evaluate paramteters?

XPathContext xctxt = context.getTransformer().getXPathContext();
XPath myxpath = new XPath("$VarName", elem, xctxt.getNamespaceContext(),
0);
XObject xobj = myxpath.execute(xctxt, context.getContextNode(), elem);
String strVarVal = xobj.str();

Thanks,

Paul

We fixed a lot of extension problems in Xalan 2.4.1. Please try with this
latest release to see if it fixes your problem.

I'm trying to pass an <xsl:param> into an extension element using Xalan
2.3.1.

If I do something like:
    <xsl:template name="DocletContentBody">
        <xsl:param name="docletTemplate"/>

        <dynamicTemplate:dynamicCallTemplate name="$docletTemplate">
            <xsl:call-template name="doesntMatter">
            </xsl:call-template>
        </dynamicTemplate:dynamicCallTemplate>
    </xsl:template>

where dynamicTemplate is my extension element, the value of the name
attribute evaluates to "$docletTemplate" rather than the value of the
parameter.

Any ideas?

Paul.
