Thanks for your reply. What happens is that I want to access another object from within XSLT by means of Xalan extensions. That object should have access to the request/session objects. I think one way would be to subclass TraxTransformer so that it sets XSLT parameters at setup time in the transformer. TraxTransformer apparently has access to the ObjectModelHelper, from which I can extract the request/session and then pass it to the transformer, and the stylesheet passes them to the target object by means of Xalan extension functions.
If you have any other ideas, I would appreciate.
