Hi Ryan,
First of all, you need an xsl:param element instead of an xsl:variable
element:
<xsl:param name="TYPE"/>
If you want a default value, use the select attribute to set the value of
no param is passed in:
<xsl:param name="TYPE" select="'default'"/>
Otherwise, the default is an empty string. That's the only way to pass
parameters into a stylesheet.
Then, you must set the value correctly. Since a param is an XPath
expression, and your stylesheet is expecting a string, you need to set it
appropriately:
transformer->setStylesheetParam( "TYPE", "'Request'" );
You should avoid using this form for xsl:param and xsl:variable which are
used as strings, because it creates a result tree fragment:
<xsl:variable name="TYPE">Request</xsl:variable>
This is fine if you really need an RTF, but is less efficient if you only
use the param or variable as a string.

Hi everyone,
Im trying to set a stylesheet variable through Xalan, but I can't seem
to get it to work. When I specify the value of the variable in my
stylesheet I can use it just fine.
Here is my stylesheet ----
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:variable name="TYPE"></xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="nletsContent">
<xsl:text>Type = </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$TYPE"/>
......
Then in my code I have the following----
transformer->setStylesheetParam( "TYPE", "Request" );
And when I run it, My output is just
Type =
....
If I change the stylesheet to look like this ----
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:variable name="TYPE">Request</xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="nletsContent">
<xsl:text>Type = </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$TYPE"/>
......
Then it outputs----
Type = Request
.....
Does anyone have an idea why this wouldn't work? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan
