Could someone tell me how they pass parameters to their stylesheets
using xalan.

The docs say:
[-PARAM name expression (Set a stylesheet parameter)]

So I use org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -PARAM someconditon 1 -IN some.xml
-XSL some .xsl

But that gives the error:
 org.apache.xml.utils.WrappedRuntimeException: Could not find
variable with the name of somecondition

Do they mean variable when they say set a parameter, am I missing
something here?

I want to do form the commandline the same thing as:
<xsl:variable name="somecondition" select="1"/>

thanx
