recap: I'm trying to pass XML through to a param in my stylesheet. I'm using
Xalan.
When I do this :- transformer.setParameter(param.name, param.value); where param.name and param.value are both Strings and contain - "inboundXML" and "<Numbers><Odds><One>1</One>... " and when the stylesheet looks like this :- ... <xsl:param name="inboundXML" select="/"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <rootContainer> <xsl:copy-of select="$inboundXML"/> </rootContainer> </xsl:template> ... I get this (almost correct but no cigar :-) :- <rootContainer> <Numbers><:Odds><One>1..... </rootContainer> Previously Michael commented :- Michael> Xalan, like Saxon, uses the setParameter() method on the JAXP javax.xml.transform.Transformer class. Michael> However, the JAXP API doesn't actually say what kind of object you can Michael> supply as the value. Most products will allow you to supply a DOM node (they Michael> may restrict which DOM implementations you are allowed to use). Saxon allows Michael> you to supply any JAXP Source object, so if you supply a StreamSource Michael> containing raw XML, the XML will be parsed and the stylesheet will see the Michael> resulting document node as the parameter value. That's interesting I thought so I tried doing this (admittedly I'm not using Saxon (sorry Michael) so no guarantees) :- transformer.setParameter(param.name, new StreamSource(new StringReader(param.value))); but unfortunately all that gave me was :- <rootContainer>javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource@4c6ca8b6</rootContainer> I have tried using the exslt:node-set function, but I'm not sure I got it correct. I would welcome any suggestions and perhaps a small example ? Cheers Fraser.
