Exception using xsl:define-constant

[Joannes Capitanio]

Dear,

I'd like to use xsl constant definition into a fop 
code... here a piece...

xsl:stylesheet 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
version="1.0" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"

!-- constant --xsl:define-constant 
name="images-dir" value="c:/idea-2_6/fop/images"/

xsl:template 
match="/"fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"

fo:layout-master-setfo:simple-page-master 
master-name="first"page-height="29.7cm"page-width="24cm"margin-top="0.5cm"margin-bottom="0.5cm"margin-left="1cm"margin-right="1cm"fo:region-body 
margin-top="2.5cm"/fo:region-before 
extent="4cm"/fo:region-after 
extent="5.5cm"//fo:simple-page-master

the compiler response was:
FOP exception org.apache.fop.apps.FOPException: 
javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: 
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: 
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: xsl:define-constant is not allowed in 
this position in the stylesheet!

could someone help me?

thanks in advance

Wow! xsl:define-constant instruction was removed from xslt back in 1998, 
sounds like your xslt manual is a litle bit obsolete.
Use
xsl:variable name=images-dir select=c:/idea-2_6/fop/images/
