In my xslt I'd like to look up an xml file. I need to pass the path to this file from java code.I have the followings:
...
Transformer transformer = TRANSFORMER_FACTORY.newTransformer();
transformer.setParameter("mypath", "/home/user/repository");
xslt:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:param name="mypath"/>
...
<xsl:template match="connection[@id]">
<xsl:variable name="lookupStore" select="document('$mypath/myfile.xml')/connections"/>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$lookupStore">
<xsl:with-param name="current" select="."/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
...
<xsl:transform>
The problem is that I want to pass an absolute "base" path to the xsl, which I want to combine with the actual xml file name (myfile.xml). It seems to me that document considers file parameters relative to the location of the xsl.
Furthermore I remarked that the parameter is not picked up from the java code. I use JABX with the default Xalan XSLT processor (1.0)
I tried many variations of passing the parameters based on the other SO posts, but no success.
