[xsl] Pass XML document (*not* file path!) as parameter to XSLT

["david bessire" <david_bessire@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

i found the solution to the problem discussed in my previous posting with 
the same subject.

i was able to pass the dynamically-generated org.dom4j.Document XML object 
as a parameter to the XSLT in Java code by doing the following:

1. convert the org.dom4j.Document to an org.w3c.dom.Document
2. get an org.w3c.dom.NodeList from the org.w3c.dom.Document
3. pass the NodeList using javax.xml.transform.Transformer setParameter 
method
4. make minor changes to the XSLT, since the NodeList isn't the full XML 
structure
  of the original org.dom4j.Document object.

The verbatim code follows:

       // create org.dom4j.Document permDoc ...
       org.w3c.dom.Document d = new 
org.dom4j.io.DOMWriter().write(permDoc);
       org.w3c.dom.NodeList nl = d.getDocumentElement().getChildNodes();
       transformer.setParameter("permsroles", nl);

where "permsroles" is the XSLT parameter name references in the transform.
