including file into xslt output...
During the XSLT transformation, is there a fairly straightforward
way to include another file into my XSL? The transformation
produces a complete HTML file, so I don't want to get into
aggregation or anything that complex.
Let's say my sitemap has:
<map:match pattern="foo/*">
<map:generate src="foo-files/{1}.xml"/>
<map:transform type="xalan" src="style/xsl/foo.xsl">
<map:parameter name="use-request-parameters" value="true"/>
</map:transform>
<map:serialize type="html"/>
</map:match>
and foo.xsl includes a template match like:
<xsl:template match="whatever">
<html>
<head><title>boring poor-formed html header</title></head>
<body>
<div class="header">
<!-- Want to insert contents of bar.xml here -->
</div>
<div class="main">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</div>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
xsl:import and xsl:include are meant to be top-level elements
for merging stylesheets...so aren't the right thing....
Any better suggestions?

James,
I would suggest using the cinclude transformer after your XSLT. Simply have your XSLT insert the
ci:include elements for the documents you wish to include, and then add <map:transform
type="cinclude"/> after your transformer. XSLT has the document() function, but that's not recommended.
