XSLT Param from ANT Property.

I'm using ANT 1.6.5; Java 1.5.0_04; Win 2000 sp4.

I'm using the XSLT task from within ANT; and can't seem to get the 
<param ... /> parameter to work as it seems it should.  After trying to 
look it up I haven't been able to find anything useful in explaining 
it.  Basically I have:


<xslt in="Input.xml"
            out="Output.xml"
            style="Transform.xsl">
           
            <!-- the inputs are from the "version.properties" file 
created in the "init" task. -->
            <param name="variable1" expression="${props.prop1}"/>
            <param name="variable2" expression="${props.prop2}"/>
           
        </xslt>

When I open the output xml; the params have been set to the strings 
"props.prop1" and "props.prop2" instead of the runtime values.  Am I 
doing something wrong?  Any help would be very useful.

Thanks.

Right. <xslt> does a timestamp check. Use the force attribute to bypass it. --DD

Ok, I think the issue was that I had fixed my ANT file (which had been 
setting the param incorrectly) but there was some kind of up-to-date 
check, and since neither the source XML nor the XSLT files had changed 
the output xml wasn't getting regenerated.

This works fine for me (using properties in expression. see below for
an example). Try doing an echo of the properties before <xslt>, as in

<echo>props.prop1 = ${props.prop1}</echo>

--DD

    <style in="${javadocs}/index2.xml" out="${javadocs}/index.html"
           style="config/javadocs-index.xsl">
      <param name="cycletitle" expression="${cycletitle}" />
    </style>
