passing NodeList through Global Paramter to XSL styles

Here are pieces of the code.

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan"
exclude-result-prefixes="xalan">


***This Global Parameter is a NodeList generated in Java Servlet and Passed
to XSL stylesheet but it seems to be coming as a tree fragment

<xsl:param name="employer"/>

<xsl:template match="test"> 


***Convert TreeFragment into a NodeList using Xalan

<xsl:variable name='v_employer' select="xalan:nodeset($employer)"/>

***** This is just for viewing the object that is being passed
<xsl:copy-of select="$v_employer"/>
(org.apache.crimson.tree.XmlDocument@1f7708)-on screen

just so you know in the nodelist we have a root element called <employer>
with child elements called <option> and in each option some values.
<employer>
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
</employer> 

**** Attempt to produce a drop down list in XSL of the values from those
child elements.

<xsl:for-each select="$v_employer/option">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>

**** Nothing is showing up.

What is wrong how can I produce a drop down list and access those node
values.This is very urgent so any help would be appreciated.
