RE: Xsl:import and param

2003-10-01 03:31:10
i would like to import an xsl file according to the value of a param :

<xsl:stylesheet
     xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">
 
      <xsl:param name="xsl_criteria"/>
      <xsl:import>
        <xsl:attribute name="href">
            <xsl:text>file:</xsl:text><xsl:value-of
select="$xsl_criteria"/>
          </xsl:attribute>
      </xsl:import>


Come on, stop and think. Since when did xsl:attribute ever write
anything *to the stylesheet*?


Is there a solution for my problem ?


You haven't told us anything about your problem, only your highly
imaginative attempt to solve it.

xsl:import is a compile-time facility. It takes effect long before the
stylesheet is evaluated, which is when parameters are examined and
instructions like xsl:attribute are executed. You can't modify your
source code while the program is running.

You could write a stylesheet that generates a new stylesheet, but I
suspect you don't need to. Usually when people ask for dynamic
xsl:import it's because they are doing import the wrong way around. You
should import the general-purpose stylesheet modules into the
special-purpose modules, not the other way around.
