Is it possible to pass a parameter to a stylesheet

  • 1.  Is it possible to pass a parameter to a stylesheet

    Posted Fri March 17, 2006 07:32 PM

    I have a xslt stylesheet ready at design time. At runtime, I may want a little different stylesheet based on a runtime parameter. I could write the original stylesheet so that the output is determined by a xsl:variable. But how could I set the variable value at runtime? Is it possible? Any other way to do so?

    thanks,

    XSLT processors do enable parameters setting at runtime. Syntax depends on code language (Java ? .net ? php ?).

    In your xsl :

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <xsl:stylesheet version=“1.0” xmlns:xsl=“XSLT Namespace”>

    <xsl:param name="myParam" select="'default value if no parameter is set" />

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="$myParam" />
</xsl:template>

    </xsl:stylesheet>

    Java :

    javax.xml.transform.Transformer.setParameter(String name, Object value)
    (JDK 19 Documentation - Home)

    PHP :

    XSLTProcessor->setParameter()
    (http://www.php.net/xsl)

    Hope this helps
