After some pretty exhaustive searching on the web, I have decided to
join the list. I have noticed in the archives that more than
one person
has had the same issue as I have...how to create an XPath expression
dynamically (from a variable, etc). The answer to these
questions was to
use any of the available *:evaluate functions. I would like to try to
avoid that, since it increases the parse time so much....and
that is not
acceptable.
My question is if there is any other way to accomplish this,
for example using XSLT2.0.
Sorry, but this is one feature that we decided not to put in XSLT 2.0. The
only choices are really:
(a) using an xx:evaluate() extension function
(b) modifying the stylesheet before you execute it
I'm not sure why you think there is a performance problem with the extension
function approach?
