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?

Thanks in advance,
