Re: [xsl] Passing NodeSet into XSLT 1.0 in Java 7 via setParameter

["cmarchand@xxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

JAXP API do not let you send anything else than simple types, i.e. 
String, numbers, etc...
To do this, you have to choose another API, and Saxon is for sure the 
right one.
Manipulating the DOM isn't a good idea : compared to XSL, it requires a 
lot of code, so it is very expensive.

In my opinion, the only way to do this correctly is to use Saxon API, 
which is not quite simple, but allows you to do anythng the XSL 
specification defines.
If you want to manipulate the tree, have a look to XOM, which is a tree 
API much more comfortable than DOM, and much more efficient.

Best regards,
