 I get mon34 as the output using our Oracle XSLT
engine so I'm pretty sure the sum one is just a bug.
You could use a top-level:
<xsl:stylesheet>
<xsl:param name="monthlookup">defaultfile.xml</param>
and later use:
document($monthlookup)//xyz
How you override the default values of top-level "stylesheet"
param's is implementation-specific...

| This was *sweet* ... now I'd like to take it one step further
| and drive report headers/footers using this technique.
| Unfortunately, the document() specifier works too well...
| it seems to be changing the entire scope of the construct.
|
| Here is an example for illustration:
|
| ----------------- stylesheet.xsl ------------------
| <xsl:stylesheet
| xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0"
| xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"
| result-ns="">
| <xsl:template match="/">
| <html>
| <xsl:for-each select="document('two.xml')//day-list" >
| <xsl:value-of select="day" />
| <xsl:value-of select="sum(//amount)" />
| </xsl:for-each>
| </html>
| </xsl:template>
| </xsl:stylesheet>
| ----------------- one.xml -------------------------
| <entry-list>
| <entry>
| <day>mon</day>
| <amount>34</amount>
| </entry>
| </entry-list>
| ----------------- two.xml -------------------------
| <root>
| <day-list>
| <day>mon</day>
| </day-list>
| <amount> 99 </amount>
| </root>
| ----------------- command line --------------------
| xt one.xml stylesheet.xsl
| ----------------- expected output -----------------
| mon 34
| ----------------- actual output -------------------
| mon 99
| ---------------------------------------------------
|
| The sum(//amount), unfortunately, seems to be
| pointing at document two.xml, not document one.xml.
|
| Any way to fix this "scope" problem?
|
| Of course, I could "sum(document('one.xml')//amount)", however:
|
| a) I was not expecting document('two.xml') to change
| the current root node; is this a bug?
|
| b) You can't hard code the input file name beacuse
| it will change; perhaps a param could be set automagically?
|
| c) I found that document('') means the stylesheet...
| so I was hoping for some other like trick!
|
| Thank you!
|
