Mark SmithSubject: Trouble with xsl:with-param when calling a template in another xsl file
Author: Mark Smith

I have 2 XSL files main.xsl and sub.xsl

main.xsl is calling a template within sub.xsl, and does so successfully.

But I cannot successfully pass a parameter into the template ???

Here is the code in main.xsl -------->

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>
<xsl:include href="sub.xsl"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<p>
<xsl:call-template name="subxml">
<xsl:with-param name="myparam" select='"BLA BLA"' />
</xsl:call-template>
</p>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
----------------------------------------------------

Here is the code in sub.xsl ------>

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>

<xsl:param name="myparam" select='"No Value"'/>

<xsl:template name="subxml" match="/">
<p>
<xsl:value-of select="$myparam"/>
</p>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

----------------------------------------------------------

I reference an xml file called sub.xml but never actually use any data in it.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<work_queues_list>
<work_queue>
<type>RELEASE</type>
<name>swadmin</name>
<description>Staffware Administrator</description>
<hosting_node>TITAN</hosting_node>
</work_queue>
</work_queues_list>

---------------------------------------------------------

If I call the sub.xsl directly on a command line
and pass in a parameter as follows then the parameter
is set correctly in the html....

StylusXslt "sub.xml" "sub.xsl" "TestProblem.html" myparam='"BLA BLA"'

Also, when I run main.xsl it finds the template in the sub.xsl ok and
the html displays "No Value".

So it all seems to work other than I can't pass the parameter value in
to the template when using xsl:with-param.

I've tried all kinds of syntax but nothing!

HELP!!!

Thanks,
Mark

It looks like in sub you have the parameter as a global parameter.
But you really want it to be local to the template rule, so it should
be moved to inside of the template - just as if it were all in a
single source module.

Hi Mark,

The template "subxml" declares "name" attribute and "match"
attribute but they are mutual exclusive.

main.xsl uses xsl:with-param name="myparam" but the subxml template
doesn't define any parameter so the value is not passed.

If you like to pass a parameter in the call-template you need to
change subxml like so

<xsl:template name="subxml">
<xsl:param name="myparam" select='"No Value"'/>
<p><xsl:value-of select="$myparam"/></p>
</xsl:template>

T tried the xslt command line and seems to work as expected.

StylusXslt.exe "dummy.xml" "main.xsl" myparam='"ivan"'
<p><p>ivan</p></p>

Hope this helps

Ivan
