Re: Only one -PARAM allowed on the commandline?

Hi Christophe,

     I don't seem to be able to reproduce your problem with Xalan-J 2.4.1 
or the latest code from CVS.  For example:

$ java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN blah.xml
                                     -XSL param.xsl
                                     -PARAM param1 toto
                                     -PARAM param2 titi

produces the following output for me:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<param1>toto</param1><param2>titi</param2>


     I don't have a copy of Xalan-J 2.4.0 handy, so I'm not sure whether 
this is a problem that was fixed since that release.

Thanks,

Henry

Hi,

Given this stylesheet:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
                 version="1.0">

<xsl:param name="param1"/>
<xsl:param name="param2"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
                 <param1><xsl:value-of select="$param1"/></param1>
                 <param2><xsl:value-of select="$param2"/></param2>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

This invocation of xalan:
java
                 -Djava.endorsed.dirs="d:\xalan-j_2_4_0\bin"
                 org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process
                 -IN xml/whatever.xml
                 -XSL xsl/param.xsl
                 -PARAM param1 toto
                 -PARAM param2 titi
 
produces this result:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<param1>toto</param1><param2/>

and this invocation:
java
                 -Djava.endorsed.dirs="d:\xalan-j_2_4_0\bin"
                 org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process
                 -IN xml/whatever.xml
                 -XSL xsl/param.xsl
                 -PARAM param2 titi

this result:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<param1/><param2>titi</param2>

So it looks like only one parameter is allowed on the command line.

However the documnentation in 'commandline.html' states:
'
To set stylesheet parameters from the command line, use
java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -PARAM name value
'

This is really a detail but maybe the doc should not imply that
multiple parameters can be specify.

Thanks,
Christophe
