RE: Passing a variable number of parameters or rather an array

2005-04-20 08:05:48

Create your array as an xml document: e,g.:

<array>
 <string>string one</string>
 <string>string two</string>
</array>

Then pass the URI of this document as a string-valued 
parameter, and use the document() function to access the array.

Another technique I use is to pass in a string that is well-formed xml,
and then use the saxon:parse() extension to turn it into a nodeset.

A different technique is to take your source xml and modify that to
include the parameter markup before it gets parsed, wrapping the whole
lot in a new root:

<root>
        <param_array>..</param_array>
      ..
      orignal source doc
      ..
</root> 

You can then access the parameter info as part of the input XML.
