RE: It's possible to give external parameters in xslt?

Hi,
this is my xml document :

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<ROOT>
  <Group>Group</Group>
  <Name>Name</Name>
  <TitleName>TitleName</TitleName>
  <SubTitleName>Sub</SubTitleName>
  <Chapter>

    <ChapterHead>
      <ChapterName>ChapterName</ChapterName>
        <ChapterNameText>ChapterNameTest
        </ChapterNameText>
    </ChapterHead>
    
    <ChapterLine>
      <Paragraph>Paragraph</Paragraph>
      <TextLine>TextLine</TextLine>
    </ChapterLine>
  
  </Chapter>
  
</ROOT>

#------------------
and this is the xsl :

<?xml version="1.0"  encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">

 <xsl:output method="text" encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>
 <xsl:output media-type="text/plain"/> 


  <xsl:template match="ROOT">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="Group | Name |
TitleName | SubTitleName | Chapter"/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="Group">
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
      <xsl:text>

      </xsl:text>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="Name">
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
      <xsl:text>

      </xsl:text>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="TitleName">
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
      <xsl:text>
    
      </xsl:text> 
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="SubTitleName">
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
      <xsl:text>
    
      </xsl:text> 
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="Chapter">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="ChapterHead"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="ChapterLine"/>
      <xsl:text>
    
      </xsl:text> 
  </xsl:template>
  
  <xsl:template match="ChapterHead">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="ChapterName"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="ChapterNameText"/>
      <xsl:text>
    
      </xsl:text> 
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="ChapterLine">
    <i><xsl:apply-templates select="Paragraph"/></i>
      <xsl:text>   </xsl:text> 
    <xsl:apply-templates select="TextLine"/>
      <xsl:text>
    
      </xsl:text> 
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="ChapterName">
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="ChapterNameText">
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
      <xsl:text>   </xsl:text> 
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="Paragraph">
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="TextLine">
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

#-------------------------------------------------
And i use the java code found in the xalan examples to
do the transformation :


import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;

import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import
javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerException;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;

/**
 *  Use the TraX interface to perform a transformation
in the simplest manner possible
 *  (3 statements).
 */
public class TransformXml2Html
{
 public static void main(String[] args)
    throws TransformerException,
TransformerConfigurationException, 
           FileNotFoundException, IOException
  {  
 
 TransformerFactory tFactory =
TransformerFactory.newInstance();

 Transformer transformer2 =
tFactory.newTransformer(new
StreamSource("GeneralTxt.xsl"));
 transformer2.transform(new StreamSource("xxx.xml"),
new StreamResult(new FileOutputStream("xxx.txt")));

  transformer2.transform(new StreamSource("xxx.xml"),
new StreamResult(new FileOutputStream("xxx.txt")));
  System.out.println("************* The result is in 
xxx.txt *************");
  }
}

#------------------------------------------------

I tried to insert external parameters in the xsl code
without success. How i can do that?

Thanks in advance
