Can I submit XSLT properties to FOP?

["Schalück, Elmar" <E....@CEYONIQ.COM>]

Hi,
I like to use FOP to produce reports, based on a XSLT stylesheet.

So the call will look like
fop -xml myXML.xml -xsl myXSL.xsl -pdf myPDF.pdf

Now I need to parametrize the XSLT with the current date/time, with some
preselections, ....

My idea is to have some more parameters for the command line:
fop -xml myXML.xml -xsl myXSL.xsl -Param=UserName "Elmar Schalück"
-Param=UserLanguage de -pdf myPDF.pdf

The XSLT stylesheet starts like
<xsl:stylesheet
     xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"
     xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<xsl:param name="UserName"/>
<xsl:param name="UserLanguage">en</xsl:param>
...

Do you know of any means to fill in these parameters?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
With kind regards

Elmar Schalück

I'm not sure what FOP does if it's called using the -xsl and -xml
parameters, but I assume that Xalan is called. So I would simply call
Xalan first to generate a FO document. You can pass
some parameters (-PARAM) to Xalan, see Xalan documentation for details.

Best regards,
