Problem passing params with XALAN-C/testXSLT

[Niall Kavanagh <kavanagh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there!

Apologies if this is a very basic question, and for it being specific (I
think) to XALAN.

I'm using XALAN-C 0.30.0, and have a question regarding one of the
examples, TestXSLT.

I'm trying to accomplish something that I thought TestXSLT could do, but
I'm apparantly running into the same problem with TestXSLT as I am with my
own application. 

Take this simple stylesheet:

--cut here--

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="clusterConfig">


<xsl:value-of select="$memberID" />

</xsl:template>
                
<xsl:template match="clusterStatus">
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

--end cut--

When I stick this line in:
<xsl:param name="memberID" select="1" />

Everything works fine... however, when I try to pass the param on the
command line:

./testXSLT -IN file:///home/kavanagh/myfile.xml -XSL
file:///home/kavanagh/test.xsl -HTML -PARAM memberID '3'

... I get:

VariableReference given for variable out of context or without
definition!  Name = memberID, at line number 0 at offset 0

test.xsl is exactly the same as the stylesheet I posted above.

Am I totally misunderstanding what the -PARAM paramater (and
setStylesheetParam) should be doing?

Any help or clue-stick bashing is greatly appriciated. ;)
