[xsl] Problems calculating the running time of an xsl script

Hi,

On each XSL files I'm setting a global variable to store the current date time.

<xsl:variable name="startExecutionTime" as="xs:dateTime">
    <xsl:value-of select="current-dateTime()"/>
  </xsl:variable>

And then have a template that in theory might execute last as it
appends content to the end of the xml file which calls a template in
an included file

<xsl:template match="endProcessing">
    <xsl:call-template name="Processing">
      <xsl:with-param name="name"
select="functx:substring-after-last-match(fn:static-base-uri(),'/')"></xsl:with-param>
      <xsl:with-param name="startExecutionTime" select="$startExecutionTime"/>
    </xsl:call-template>

  </xsl:template>

The template appends start and current time and calculates duration
minutes although unlikely and seconds

<xsl:template name="Processing">
    <xsl:param name="startExecutionTime"></xsl:param>
    <xsl:param name="name"/>
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
      <xsl:element name="widget">
        <xsl:attribute name="name" select="$name"/>
        <xsl:attribute name="startExecutionTime" select="$startExecutionTime"/>
        <xsl:attribute name="CurrentExecutionTime" select="current-dateTime()"/>
        <xsl:attribute name="minutes"
          select="minutes-from-duration(current-dateTime() -
$startExecutionTime)"/>
        <xsl:attribute name="seconds"
          select="seconds-from-duration(current-dateTime() -
$startExecutionTime)"/>
      </xsl:element>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>


Problem is that the startExecutionTime and the CurrentExecutionTime
are always the same resulting in zero duration


        <widget name="one.xsl" startExecutionTime="2009-12-10T12:08:34.406Z"
            CurrentExecutionTime="2009-12-10T12:08:34.406Z"
minutes="0" seconds="0"/>

        <widget name="two.xsl" startExecutionTime="2009-12-10T12:08:36.64Z"
            CurrentExecutionTime="2009-12-10T12:08:36.64Z" minutes="0"
seconds="0"/>

        <widget name="three.xsl" startExecutionTime="2009-12-10T12:08:39.484Z"
            CurrentExecutionTime="2009-12-10T12:08:39.484Z"
minutes="0" seconds="0"/>


Time passes between widgets suggesting they don't process without
milliseconds going by although that would be sweet!

One thing I was wondering is when you have the current-dateTime()
within a global variable will that represent the time you use the
variable and not when the processing starts?

I'm thinking to pass the time in as a parameter from xproc on my next
attempt at this.

Is there a way to calculate the running time of an xsl script within the script?



Kind Regards
