RE: Retrieving Parameters Values from an XSLT Transfor

No need to pass in an empty parameter, whatfor? Just extract the title data
from the XML using XSL, and then pass this to the servlet just like it
passes the message.

Subject:  Retrieving Parameters Values from an XSLT Transform

Hi

This might be a numpty question but here goes. I know that I can pass
parameters to an XSLT stylesheet, but can I do this in reverse - set the
value of the parameter within my XSLT stylesheet and then access the
assigned value once the transform has finished? What I had in mind was to
use the javax.xml.transform.Transformer object in my calling program and
pass it an empty string using setParameter(), assign the parameter a value
during the XSLT transform and then call getParameter() after the transform
has finished?

The reason I'm asking is that I have an application that receives an XML
datastream through a servlet. The servlet formats the XML into a
"user-friendly" text file via the Transformer class and attaches the result
to an e-mail. I've now been asked to include data from the XML document into
the title of the e-mail.

Regards
Roger
