Re: xslt create a variable from external xml file

Hi Phillip,

Try a simple testcase consisting of the following three files in the same
local directory:

<!-- input.xml -->
<result/>


<!-- data.xml -->
<data>hello</data>


<!-- stylesheet.xsl -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    version="3.0">
  <xsl:template match="/*">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:value-of select="document('data.xml')/*"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

When I run this on my system, I get:

$ java -jar $SAXON_JAR -xsl:stylesheet.xsl -s:input.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><result>hello</result>

What do you get?

 - Chris
