How about making the private members of XalanTransformer protected?

[Wolfgang Schell <wo...@gmx.de>]

Hi!

I'm using Xalan in a project, where I need to set a stylesheet parameter as 
nodeset but XalanTransformer allows only string parameters. At first, I
wanted to send a mail to this list to ask for this function to be included in the
next release but that would probably take some time. So I decided to write a
derived class with a new function, which allows access to the
XSLTEngineImpl::setStylesheetParam(XalanDOMString, XObjectPtr). 
Unfortunately all member variables of XalanTransformer are private. Of
course I could just change the include file to suit my needs, but how about making
the private members of XalanTransformer protected in the distribution as
well? So everybody who needs a function not supplied by XalanTransformer can
write a dervied class and implement the wanted functionality without having to
rebuild the whole Xalan library.

Cheers

Wolfgang
