[xsl] passing a node-set variable between an imported xsl and back.

[heiko@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hi XSL-List Members,

before i forget: best wishes for the next year.

here is my problem:

i wrote something like a parser, for an xml file that
is needed in i three xsl files. off course i want to
import this things because it will change often.

in the parser i create an node-set as variable like
this:
<!-- create a name of pack -->

<xsl:variable name="cjversion">
<xsl:variable name="pack">
   <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="contains(articleName,'ESD')">
      <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space('ESD')"/>
     </xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space('BOX')"/>
     </xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable> 
....
later i create an nodeset in the same file with the
variable
....
<pos>
    <artname>
       <xsl:value-of select="$shortname"/>
    </artname>
    <artname_os>
       <xsl:value-of
select="concat($pack,'|',articleenv/name)"/>
    </artname_os>
     <artname_os_lang>
         <xsl:value-of
select="concat($pack,'|',articleenv/name,'|',articlelanguage/name)"/>
    </artname_os_lang>
</pos>
<!-- close cjversion variable -->
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="cjNO">
	<xsl:call-template name="makeIndex">
	 <xsl:with-param name="newnode"
select="xalan:nodeset($cjversion)/pos/artname_os"/>
	</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
that is my vartiable node-set i would like to import it
via 

<xsl:import href="http://localhost/parser.xsl"; />

and use it here in the three other files like this:

<select width="267" name="A">
<xsl:for-each select="xalan:nodeset($cjN0)/key">
<option>
	<xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of
select="."/></xsl:attribute>
	<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</option>				
</xsl:for-each>
</select>

how do i have to realize it ! any help would be great.

thanks in advance.

Heiko
