RE: [xsl] declaring global variable in XSL!

["Vadim Permyakov" <vadimpermyakov@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

If you are running your XSLT on the server (and your XSLT engine support 
extensions, like Xalan) you can create the extension, for example java 
extension, and save your variable in java class, then you have global 
variable for all transformations. See example here:
