Hi, just wanted to add that you can use only one servlet in this way you have a master xsl file that import the stylesheet that you want to change.... the name of the xsl file that you import is an xsl:param variable, so that you can set it from the servlet.... REMEMBER THAT in this case you don't have to add to your xml an xsl:stylesheet directive.... br marco > -----Original Message----- > From: EXT Dan Machak [mailto:machak@xxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: 10.
