Hi
As far as passing data into the transformation, see below. If this is the
right overall solution to your path problem, I don't know.
Assume you have a transformer instance,
Transformer transformer;
Call the setParams method before executing the transformation:
transformer.setParameter("myVar","myValue");
Inside the XSLT file, "declare" the param using the same name. Here I also
assign a default value, the empty string:
<xsl:param name="myVar" select="''"/>
Now refer to the param using XSLT variable syntax:
<xsl:value-of select="$myVar"/>
This is standard Java JAXP stuff. Any JAXP compliant transformer will
support this.
Refer to the JAXP spec/API docs for more details.

pass an argument to XSL file?
Hello all,
I am re-using the Xalan simpletransform.java class to transform and XML
into HTML using an XSL, I would like to know if is possible to pass an
argument to the XSL template using any transformation method of Xalan...
now I am using:
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(xsl));
transformer.transform(new StreamSource(xml), new StreamResult(new
FileOutputStream(html)));
Is possible to pass a value to any transformation function and read that
input value in the XSL?
I need this because in the XSL I am loading an external XML file using
the document() function but the full path to that external file is not
always the same and I do not know how I could make this path a variable
....
thanks in advance,
e*
