Passing parameters in XSLT

   Hi!
   
   Can anybody tell me an easy way of passing an external parameter
(an object or a value) from a Java object to a XSL stylesheet, that
will be visible during transformation.
   The only way I find is by using an external function, but for some
reasons it is not convenient for me.

   Thanks.
   Miro

Hi Miroslav,

Here's an example:

...
StreamSource styleSheet = ...;
StreamSource input = ...;
StreamResult result = ...;

Transformer serializer = null;

serializer = tfactory.newTransformer(styleSheet);
serializer.setParameter("PARAM_NAME","value");
serializer.transform(input, result);
...

You can refer to the parameter "PARAM_NAME" in your XSLT
as follows:

<xsl:stylesheet ...>
   <xsl:param name="PARAM_NAME"/>

   <xsl:template ...>
      <xsl:value-of select="$PARAM_NAME"/>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Regards,
