Hi Vasu, Thanks for the detailed response.
It looks like the XMLs will have to be inclused inside the XSL code. I have
a scenario where same servlet code should be able to handle two XMLs and an
XSL dynamically ie. provide two XMLs and an XSL to the servlet and it will
apply the XSL to the XMLs. Is it possible. With one XSL and one XML is is
possible.
Thanks
Jamal

Hi jamal it is very much possible. This is done using document. u have to give the XML file name/location as a parameter.
example statement1 <xsl:variable name = "xml1" select ="document('xmlfile1.xml')"/> statement2 <xsl:variable name = "xml2" select ="document('xmlfile2.xml')"/> and <xsl:apply-templates select = "$xml1"/> or <xsl:for-each select = "$xml1/Root-Element-of-xml1">
REMEMBER : when u call the documents like this u should always refer to the
elements by the name of the variable that is made use of to load the XML file .(in the above case its xml1) so if u want to iterate through each of the elements in your external XML element, for example in the above case XML1.xml and if the root element of this xml is root-xml1 then this root is refered to as $xml1/root-xml1 where $xml1 is defined in the statement1 above.

You dont need any separate API to do this just call the document within the
XSL sheet. like above.
and the run the XALAN transformation command to transform.please let us know
if u want any more details regarding this. HTH vasu
