both those are the same thing as test= always has an effective boolean()

easiest is probably to make your default value 'defult' or some such
then you can say
test="$permission != 'default'"
Hi and thanks,
I was hoping to get the benefit of a quick boolean test. Perhaps this is
a JAXP thing? I would think setting a parameter to an empty string:
transformer.setParameter("permission", "");
would equate to (if the permission param was not sent):
<xsl:param name="permission" select="''"/>
(since that is what I am passing)
To me, this seems like a bug for java processors (at least Saxon and Xalan)
thanks,
