XALAN-C UseStylesheetParam Notes

UseStylesheetParam

What it does: Performs a transformation using top-level stylesheet
parameters.  There are three supported types of parameters.  One is a text
string.  A second is a number of type double.  A nodeset or parsed
document can also be used.

You can run it from the UseStylesheetParam subdirectory with

UseStylesheetParam xmlfile stylesheet outfile [options]

where the options are:

  -s key "'String-Value'"
  -n key Number
  -d key "Document-URL"

Using the sample program:

UseStylesheetParam foo.xml foo.xslt foo.out \
    -s stringA "'This is a test string value'" \
    -n numberA  123.012345 \
    -d parmA "parmA.xml" \
    -d parmB "parmB.xml"

The (parmA.xml) and (parmB.xml) are parsed and converted to nodesets.  The
stylesheet (foo.xslt) merges the contents of (foo.xml) and the parameters
into the (foo.out) file.

The source sample is implemented in C++.  Another example is implemented
in 'C' using the XalanCAPI library (TestCAPIparm.c).  The usage interface
for both is the same.
