[XSL] : how to get the value of a variable defined in a program ?

[MC]

HI to all,

First excuse me but i'm xsl beginner.

I'm using XSL to transform an xml file into another. I'm using a Java
program for the transformation (TraX API).

I would like to recover in the xsl stylesheet the value of a variable
defined in my Java program. Is it possible ?

Thanks a lot for yours answers

You can pass in parameters to the processor before running a
transformation, see
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/xml/transform/Transformer.html#setParameter(java.lang.String,%20 java.lang.Object)>
That parameter needs to be declared in the XSLT stylesheet e.g.
<xsl:param name="paramName" />
and then the stylesheet elsewhere uses
$paramName
in expressions.
