I wanted to use XalanTransformer::setStylesheetParam in an application, but I
wanted to test out how it worked (i.e. how to indicate the param in the
stylesheet itself). I have this xml (param.xml)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<books>
<title>Foo</title>
<title>Bar</title>
<title>Baz</title>
</books>
Being used with this stylesheet (param.xsl)
<xsl:stylesheet version = '1.0'
xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'>
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:param name="TITLE"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:text>
Testing title for the value(</xsl:text><xsl:value-of
select="$TITLE"/><xsl:text>)
</xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//title"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="title">
<xsl:text>Testing the title: </xsl:text><xsl:value-of
select="text()"/><xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:if test="$TITLE = text()"><xsl:text>
Found the title you wanted!
</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Using this command-line: Xalan -p TITLE Bar -o param.out param.xml param.out
param.out looks like this:
Testing title for the value()
Testing the title: Foo
Testing the title: Bar
Testing the title: Baz
I would expect that the value in the parenthesis to be Bar and to get a match
from the $TITLE = text() line, but I don't.
Am I just completely misunderstanding how this works? I couldn't find a bug in
bugzilla for this, so I'm guessing it's user error here, not Xalan. This
example is similar to an example given in an XSLT faq at:
<http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N5982.html#d5626e85>
Thanks,
Rachael
