Thank you all for the terrific help and support. I have it working
nicely now. This is a really solid community.
I am using the default xalan XSLT 1.0 engine that comes with Sun's JDK 5
in my open source project <http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net>.
I guess its time to move to an open source XSLT 2.0 implementation that
will work with the TrAX API in JDK 5. I am assuming Saxon
is the best to fit that description (and that Micheal approves of this
choice ;-) )
As background, I am working to add a "Role Based Content Filtering"
feature to our Registry / Repository to provide element and
attribute level access control to a repository of XML documents based
upon roles and other credentials associated with the subject
attempting to retrieve an XML document.
Thanks again for all the help.

<xsl:apply-templates select="./child::node()"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
Or replace the xsl:apply-templates by xsl:copy-of if it really is a pure
copy.
In 2.0 you can do
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates
select="(if ($input2='') then document($input2) else .)/child::node()"/>
</xsl:template>

Subject: [xsl] Selectively applying Identity transform to
multiple inputs (Multiplexer Style Sheet)
Dear colleagues,
I have a newbie question.
In my XSLT, in addition to my main input, I am reading a
second input in my XSLT using the document() function.
The second input's URL is specified via an <xsl:param>:
<xsl:param name="input2" select="''"></xsl:param>
I need to produce output tree that is either the identity
transform of the main input or the second input depending
upon whether the parameter
$input2 is null/empty or not. If it is null/empty then the
main input should be copied to output tree. If it is not
null/empty then the second input should be copied to output tree.
I have been unable to do this correctly after much trying.
Can someone provide some guidance on how to accomplish this
seemingly simple task?
Thanks for your help.
