Hi, there are (at least) two solutions: 1. Use the file generator to read your xml document Specify the "use-request-parameter" parameter for the TraxTransformer in your pipeline and you can use all request parameters with a variable in your stylesheet ($parametername) Take a look at the slide example. 2. Use content aggregation. You can use CA for this as well. One part would be your xml document and the other the output of the RequestGenerator. Take a look at the aggregation news example. I would suggest using 1 as it is the simpler solution.
