Muchos gracias. It's a little Rube Goldberg machine, but it works just
fine.

I'm not 100% certain but to me it looks like testXSLT is actually a
call to
Xalan.
It is possible to call Xalan with parameters, using the -parameter
switch.
fop calls Xalan itself but has AFAIK no possibility to pass parameters
to
Xalan.
A work around might be to write a shell script that calls a
transformation
first
and then calls fop with the transformation result (a fo file) as input.

$ Subject: Passing Parameters at the Command Line
$
$
$ I'm running fop (0.20.3) at the command line and would like
$ to be able
$ to pass it parameters much like I do with Xalan (testXSLT). With
$ testXSLT, you can pass parameters with the following syntax:
$
$ testXSLT -in source.xml -xsl transform.xsl -param name "'value'"
$
$ I would like to be able to do the same with fop, but when I execute:
$
$ ./fop.sh -xml source.xml -xsl transform.xsl -param name
$ "'value'" -out
$ out.pdf
$
$ fop spits out the standard help screen and dies, claiming the
$ renderer
$ hasn't been set. I've tried various permutations of the invocation,
$ including changing the quoting scheme around the parameter's value,
$ though nothing changes the outcome.
$
$ Has anyone run into this situation before? Know how I can pass
$ parameters? Is it possible at this stage in FOP's development?
$
$ Thanks,
$ Rob
