(Thanks for all the help.) Is there any caching of the map document behind the
scenes? I am concerned about performance if I send several thousand documents
throught my XSL parser.
Thanks,
Kevin

Subject: RE: [xsl] Keeping a map in my XSL

Heres the thing though. I can't have the map in my source XML, I want
it in my source XSLT.
Is there a way to set the map in an XML document and include it in my
Source XSL and then Reference it in the XSLT using the key() function?
Sure, just use xsl:for-each to change document:
<xsl:for-each select="document('map.xml')/">
<!-- You are now at the root of map.xml
and if you use key, that key will
be applied to this document -->
<xsl:value-of select="key('mappings', $lookup)/@value"/> </xsl:for-each>
Note that you can even include the map in the XSLT transformation itself
assuming that :
* You use a namespace (that isn"t the XSLT namespace)
* Your map is a top level element of the transformation.
You can then access to your map through document(''):
<xsl:for-each select="document('')/">
<!-- You are now at the root of your XSLT transformation
and if you use a key, that key will
be applied to your transformation -->
<xsl:value-of select="key('mappings', $lookup)/@value"/> </xsl:for-each>
Hope this helps.
Eric
