Why can't you just use
<param name="workDir" expression="${root}"/>
or some variation on that theme?
If I may ask why do you need to pass in the directory? I can process directories with
the trax processor (with Saxon behind it)
without any trouble.
FWIW Saxon contains an extension function that will return the system id of the
document being processed. If you really need to use
the location of the document in your stylesheet you might find that a method in your
stylesheet engine will do this for you (as well
as making your stylesheet not dependent on Ant)

Lorenzo -
Did you figure this out? I am having the same problem. Want to keep it simple, but
am having problems only using ANT. Seems like
I can only write some other code to read in the directory and pass it...
Thanks,
Annie

Subject: How do I capture the current directory during execution?
How can I process documents in a directory structure, and capture the directory where
the files are being processed from? I need to
pass it to a style sheet. Here is my code:
<target name="publishItems" depends="init, prepare">
<style basedir="${root}"
destdir="${buildroot}/itemXML"
style="../bin/xslt/sgml.xsl"
includes="**/*.ent"
extension=".xml"
processor="xalan">
<!-- param name="workDir" expression=""/ -->
</style>
</target>
The includes will match **/*.ent, but how can I find out what ** is so that I can pass
that value to sgml.xsl?
Thanks,
