Re: Global variable in included stylesheet

Hello Andrey,

include means, that every template in 2.xsl is copied to 1.xsl and will be
used there. Your 2.xsl-template can't work as expected, because your global
variable is empty. You only have a local variable declared in the first
template in 1.xsl. You may not handle variables like in Java or other
programming languages. In XSLT it's not possible to reassign a value to
them. If you change your first variable declaration in 1.xsl to
<xsl:variable name="DefaultLanguageID"
select="/global-settings/parameter[@name='DefaultLanguageID']/@value"/>, you
will see the expected output. Now the global variable has the value.

Regards,

Joerg
