jstl x:transform samples confusion

How to use external .xml and .xsl files with x:transform?

I can't find any examples at standard-examples.war.
And I had a look at an example here
http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/pub/a/onjava/2002/05/08/jstl.html?page=3
They recommend this
<c:import url="/books" var="xml"/>
<c:import url="/WEB-INF/xslt/bookDisplay.xsl" var="xslt"/>
<x:transform source="${xml}" xslt="${xslt}"/>

However, in JSTL beta 1, there is no attribute source in x:transform.

The examples at standard-examples.war (/xml/Transform.jsp) uses c:set to set
the content of the xml and xslt, how to grab them from the external files and
how to use them in x:transform?

TIA,
Cliffano Subagio

The article you refer to is out of date.  You can use <c:import> to
retrieve them from external URLs or via the RequestDispatcher:  e.g.,

  <c:import var="xml" url="http://my/file.xml"/>
  <c:import var="xslt url="/stylesheets/1.xslt"/>
