Many thanks for the replies so far. I'm now progressing to look at the mapping file or "high-level description of a stereotyped transformation", and was wondering whether I could use xpath statements in this file to identify data I want to extract from particular elements/attributes, or identify even the elements themselves. The question that subsequently arises when creating a mapping file as such is: Can one pass xpath statements as variables into templates, and then act on them (against the source document)? Thanks, Alistair - alistair.power@xxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- It sounds to me as if you should treat your "configuration file" as a high-level description of a stereotyped transformation, and use it to generate a specific XSLT stylesheet for a particular transformation. You can do this stylesheet generation in XSLT, of course.
