To whom it may concern,

My name is Chris Garver, and I'm relatively new with using Xalan.  I'm 
currently attempting to use the Process.java program to transform a 
document using XLST.  However, Process.java doesn't seem to accept the 
"xsl:param" tag when I use it.  I've prepared a small example and provided 
the output that Process.java produces:


<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version = "1.0" xmlns:xsl = 
"http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:element name="foo">
                <xsl:attribute name="name">
                        <xsl:param name="theName">Bar</xsl:param>               
                        <xsl:value-of select="$theName"/>
                </xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>         

</xsl:stylesheet>


file:///C:/smallExample.xsl; Line14; Column 30;
XSLT Error (javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException): 
xsl:param is not allowed in this position in the stylesheet!


Line 14 corresponds with the "xsl:param" tag.  Stylus Studio, which only 
tests XLST code and doesn't produce any output, runs this without a 
problem.  What I would like to know is whether "xsl:param" is accepted by 
Process.java anymore.  If it is, then I need to find out what I'm doing 
wrong in the above sample.  If it isn't, I'd like to find out how I can 
pass variables into templates, similar to how "xsl:with-param" did within 
"xsl:call-template".

At any rate, thanks in advance for any assistance I receive in this matter.
