sending params to an xsl file using the xsl taglib

["McShane, Matthew" <Ma...@tfn.com>]

Hello all,

New to the list so I'm sorry if this has been covered (is there anywhere on
the web where i can browse older discussions???)....

My question is: Is it possible to send parameters to a stylesheet using the
<apply> tag?  I have tried the following to no avail:

<xsl:apply xml="test.xml" xsl="test.xsl -param x y" /> 
and 
<xsl:apply xml="test.xml" xsl="test.xsl?x=y" />

I'm using Tomcat 3.1, Xalan 1.2 and the nightly build of jakarta-taglibs
from last night (Oct. 24, 2000)

thanks in advance,
matt.

Currently, the apply tag considers the "xsl" argument to be a pathname, and
does not try to interpret it.  Parsing parameters out of the attribute value
would not be difficult, but how does one then send the parameters on to the
stylesheet?
