<s3 title="Changes since &xslt4j; version 1.2.1">
-<p>Dmitry Voytenko submitted a fix for a bug (a "not serializable
exception") that occurred when attempting to set stylesheet parameters with a
compiled stylesheet. Accordingly, it is now possible to compile a stylesheet
with the command-line utility -lxcin flag and then perform a transformation
with it and set a parameter using the -lxcout and param -flags. See <link
idref="commandline" anchor="compiledstylesheet">Using a compiled
stylesheet</link>.</p>
-<p>When you use an XSLTProcessor object to perform multiple transformations,
you must reset the XSLTProcessor between each transformation. The existing
<jump
href="apidocs/org/apache/xalan/xslt/XSLTProcessor.html#reset()">reset()</jump>
method (with no arguments) also clears all stylesheet parameters that you have
set with either of the <jump
href="apidocs/org/apache/xalan/xslt/XSLTProcessor.html#setStylesheetParam(java.lang.String,
org.apache.xalan.xpath.XObject)">setStylesheetParam()</jump> methods. In
response to requests for more control over resetting stylesheet parameters, we
have added two methods:</p>
<ul>
-<li>The XSLTProcessor <jump
href="apidocs/org/apache/xalan/xslt/XSLTProcessor.html#reset(boolean)">reset(boolean
resetParams)</jump> method lets you specify whether stylesheet parameters are
to be reset.<br/><br/>
-If you do not want to reset the stylesheet params, call reset(false). The
XSLTProcessor <jump
href="apidocs/org/apache/xalan/xslt/XSLTProcessor.html#processStylesheet(org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLTInputSource)">processStylesheet(XSLTInputSource
stylesheet)</jump> method uses this new method to perform a reset without
resetting stylesheet parameters.<br/><br/></li>

<p>If you run across a problem with &xslt4j;, we strongly encourage you to
write a patch and submit it to <human-resource-ref idref="xalandev"/>. We will
review it to make sure it doesn't break something else, and (assuming it
doesn't) include it in our next release. In the interest of fixing bugs, adding
enhancements, and addressing a host of thorny design issues, we sincerely want
(and need!) your active participation in the ongoing development of Xalan.</p>

<p>Xalan is an XSLT processor for transforming XML documents into HTML,

is a complete and robust implementation of the W3C Recommendations for
XSL Transformations (XSLT) and the XML Path Language
