One thing that we noticed when implementing stylesheet
chaining/pipelining/whatever in 4Suite (see, I can
advertise, too) is the problem of what to do
with external stylesheet parameters. Say you want to
pass the output of stylesheet 1 to stylesheet 2, and
stylesheet 2 needs some top-level parameters passed
in.
One approach to this is to implement an XMLFilter wrapper for the XSLT
transformer that is different than the one that the JAXP1.1 APIs provide.
Among other things, you can use the XMLFilter.setProperty(String,Object) method
(inherited from XMLReader) to set parameters on the transformer. Just use a
suitable URI scheme to identify the parameters, e.g.,
param:foo
maps to the parameter foo.
