Thanks Tim, et al - I was thinking that since I was passing a parameter from my "FOP" code, this was something to do with FOP.

I would invite you to post your question on the XML Forum at Tek-Tips, where I have answered XSLT questions for years. That way, the answer might (might!) help someone else.

Hi, I'm using FOP, embedded in a desktop application, to create PDFs from a single data XML file using an XSLT file. Say the data XML file is a list of items, for example: <items> <item> apple </item> <item> orange </item> <item> water melon </item>...</items> I want to be able to tell the XSLT to only process specific items (say "apple" and "orange"). I've created a java.util.ArrayList and passed that to the transformer using setParameter( "theList", theList ). In the XSLT, when I use <xsl:value-of select="$theList" />, I'll get in the output [apple, orange]. Fair enough. However, what I really want (I think) is to take the array and iterate over it, calling a template for each item. Is this possible? From what I've managed to deduce from a lot of searching/reading is that it's possible even to pass in a Java object and somehow get XSLT to access that Java object. I'm not sure if that is overkill for what I want to do, but I cannot even achieve processing a list of items one by one. Thanks in advance, Bernard.
