1. in the xsl you define "default" parameters in the stylesheet-root tag
(e.g. <xsl:param name="dummy" select="'default'"/>)

2. After you defined your xalan XSLTProcessor you use the function
setStylesheetParam like the documentation says:
"
public void setStylesheetParam(java.lang.String key,
                               java.lang.String expression)
  Set a top-level stylesheet parameter. This value can be evaluated via
xsl:param-variable. Note that the value passed is an expression, and not a
string. This means that setStylesheetParam("foo", "hello"); will look for
the element "hello". If you want to pass a string, you'll need to put quotes
around it: setStylesheetParam("foo", "'hello'"); will look for the
    Parameters:
    key - The name of the param.
    expression - An expression that will be evaluated.
