Sorry, I don't understand. If you are doing transformation on the
server, then there must be an XSLT processor on the server, and there
must be some application running on the server that is invoking it. You
seem to be saying that you aren't allowed to write applications that run
on the server to invoke the XSLT processor, you have to use the
application that someone else has provided. But you don't say what that
application is or what its capabilities are, so it's impossible for me
to tell you whether it supports passing of parameters to the XSLT
transformation.
