setParameter method of Transformer class doesn't work properly with XSLTC

           Summary: setParameter method of Transformer class doesn't work
                    properly with XSLTC
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: 2.0.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Other
         Component: org.apache.xalan.xsltc
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: treepom@xnet.ro


I have the next situation:

1. A servlet (jsp page) calling a transformation from an xsl file.
2. The stylesheet is using an global parameter ( <xsl:param name="request"/> ) 
which is passed at runtime from servlet using Transformer.setParameter method
3. The parameter passed is an org.w3c.dom .Element object.

If the code above is running with the interpretive processor then everything 
is working fine. 
If the code is running using compiled stylesheet then:
1. If I do <xsl:comment><xsl:copy-of select="$request" /></xsl:comment> I will 
receive a null parameter display.
2. If I'm accessing the Element structure
 <xsl:value-of select="$request/@envId"/>
then I receive the error:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Invalid conversion from 'reference' 
to 'org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl'.
