Hi, Dan,
I got it work with a slightly modified version of your XSL file like this:
java -cp /fop-0.20.5/lib/xalan-2.4.1.jar org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in
path.xml -xsl paramtest.xsl -out paramtest.txt -param myParameter test
Naturally, you'll need to use the correct path to the xalan jar file on
your computer.
Here's the XSL I used:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:param name="myParameter"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:text>You set the parameter to: </xsl:text><xsl:value-of
select="$myParameter"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
You had <text> rather than <xsl:text>. An XSL processor will try to
process that as a literal result element and, since your output method is
text, ignore it.

Subject
[xsl] Xalan and command-line parameters
I'm having trouble passing command-line parameters to a stylesheet, but
I've searched your archives and I can't find anything wrong with it, so
maybe someone can point out the problem.
I invoke the stylesheet like this:
xalan -IN chapters.xml -XSL param.xsl -OUT foo.txt \
-PARAM myParameter the-value
------ stylesheet -----
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:param name="myParameter"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<text>
You set the parameter to:
</text>
<xsl:value-of select="$myParameter"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
