Jason,
if I were you, I'd use the RequestGenerator. You will get a nice XML with all the form
parameters ready for further processing.
Best regards,

Subject: Advice re: Stylesheet Parameters
I was hoping to get some advice from the group on the proper way to
acquire stylesheet parameters from a user and to use them in a
transformation.
My plan is to have an HTML form (an XForm can come later) that collects the
values for all sorts of parameters, such as...
xsl:param name=generate.index select=1/
xsl:param name=toc.section.depth2/xsl:param
... and to collect these parameters once the form is submitted.
I realize that there are a number of ways that I could do this, but I was
hoping that the list could help me enumerate my choices and provide
information on the strengths and weaknesses of each choice. One thing to
keep in mind is that a number of these parameters are best represented as
checkboxes, so I will have to deal with the usual problem of HTML form
encoding :(
This information is likely to be of use to other Cocoon users, so I will
volunteer to collate and submit the results to the list.
Thanks for any help.

P.S. For those of you who are wondering, I'm trying to create a Test Your
DocBook web page where you can upload your source file and have a PDF file
returned. Thanks to Saxon and the new ability to specify a custom
TransformerFactory on a per-pipeline basis, I've already got this partially
working.
