XSL:parameters

["Saigal, Ankur" <an...@sap.com>]

Hi, 
I have the following style sheet,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:mynsprefix="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions"
	xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/xslt/java"
	exclude-result-prefixes="java"
	version="1.0" >
	
	<xsl:param name="Xpathname"/>
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:copy-of select="$Xpathname"/>
	</xsl:template>
	
</xsl:stylesheet>

In vanilla XSLT, you cannot dynamically specify an Xpath in a select
attribute as you are attempting to do.  Check out the evaluate extension
function.

You will generally get faster answers if you send these generic XSLT
questions to the Mulberry List
(http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/index.html).  Also, you might
want to check a FAQ (http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N1575.html)
before asking this type of frequent question.

Arthur, please send questions such as these to a list and not to
individuals.

Gary

Well, I don't have the solution (any are welcome) but I did have the 
same problem .I tried with the command line and Xalan didn't accept 
passing the argument as aString Object but was expecting for something 
else .
