RE: [xsl] Key/Use

[Kevin_Gutch@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Mr. Kay,

Excuse my ignorance but, why is this

 <xsl:key name="lookup" match="row"
 use="concat($TRANSFORMER_SourceCountry,'_layer_name')"/>

 any more useless than?:

 <xsl:key name="lookup" match="row" use="US_layer_name"/>

All I actually want to do is  pass in a parameter from a servlet and use a
dynamic key value to be used in a XSLT LookUp Table. Everything works I
just want to use a dynamic lookup table so I do not have to have more than
one lookup table. So basically US could be BG(Great Britian),CN(Canada)
etc.

It is legal but useless. You are indexing each row on the concatenation of
the value of the global variable $TRANSFORMER_SourceCountry (which is the
same for each row), and the literal '_layer_name' (which is also the same
for each row). Therefore every row has the same key value.
