XSL parameters

[Matthias Brunner <mb...@gmx.net>]

Hello,

how do I set XSL parameters in the sitemap?
This does not seem to be possible:

<map:transform src="my.xsl" type="xslt">
	<map:parameter name="noImgTags" value="true()"/>
</map:transform>

I do not want to activate "use-request-parameters" since the user 
should not be able to set parameters himself.


Best regards,
Matthias Brunner

Hello Matthias,

at 
http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/userdocs/transformers/xslt-transformer.html 
you can read, that your code is correct. i only don't know what happens 
when sending a boolean value. I think it's interpreted as normal text.

Furthermore in the stylesheet you need a global <xsl:param 
name="noImgTags" select="'defaultvalue'"/>. To see whether it works or 
not, you can add a <xsl:value-of select="$noImgTags"/> into one template.

The use-request-parameters is more bad because of caching instead of 
request parameters from the user, because a <xsl:param/> is always 
needed. But you're correct, of course it should be avoided where possible.

Regards,

Joerg

That should work. You will need to have the parameter declared in your xslt
as well, as a child of the style-sheet element:

<xsl:param name="noImgTags" select="false()"/>

What is the result? Do you get an error message? Or does $noImgTags =
false()?

BTW, though this isn't your problem, I would guess the parameter is passed
to your xslt as a string, which means that ANY non-null value would evaluate
as true() in your xslt:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#function-boolean
In other words, in xpath, even 'false()'=true()

:-)

Cheers

Con
