Passing Parameters to member of a Filter Chain

Is it possible to pass parameters to 
a stylesheet that is part of a filter chain?

I have a filter chain comprised of one or 
more stylesheets along with custom XMLFilters 
written in Java.

The stylesheet filters are loaded using the
standard newXMLFilter() method:

  XMLFilter stylesheet;
  Source source = new StreamSource("test.xsl");

  stylesheet = factory.newXMLFilter(source);	

Is is possible to pass values to xsl:param if
used in the manner?

Thanks - Jeff
