Hi everybody.

Before I ask a question, please let me explain the problem.
I'd like to send to stylesheet variable number of parameters, which would be then resolved by proper stylesheet. For example I have a number of parameters defined in XML file (can be _any_ number of parameters):

<Params>
    <Param nm="t1" vl="11"/>
    <Param nm="t2" vl="22"/>
</Params>

I want to transform xml document in a manner which depends on above parameter list

There is a simple way to do this in Java. First I must parse the above doument into org.w3c.dom.Element object, and then pass this object as a 'value' parameter in method
setParameter( String name, Object value)
of class
javax.xml.transform.Transformer.

And my problem is how to do it using Xalan C++. I _must_ do it in the same (or similar) way as in java solution described above. I've found class XalanTransformer (xalanc/XalanTransformer/XalanTransformer.hpp) has got only two instances of method setStylesheetParam - first using constchar*, and second one using XalanDOMString& as parameters. And that's all. I have found that XSLTEngineImpl object is used as XSLT processor and it has a method defined below

XSLTEngineImpl::setStylesheetParam(
            const XalanDOMString& key,
            XObjectPtr value);

which prototype seems to look like it could be useful to resolve my problem. But I am not sure this is the proper solution. Moreover, usage of this method requires XalanTransformer module to be rewritten. But this method is called nowhere in Xalan source code, tests or examples, so I have no idea how to convert (or assign, whatever) any object having part of XML document (for example XalanElement*) to XObjectPtr and if it will work. Maybe there's another way of solving my problem, which I can see now.

Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance,

My current version of Xalan is 1.8 and I haven't yet found any solution of my problem in Xalan 1.9 published today (22 Dec 2004)
