Config file to XSLT

[w0006941]

Hi all

I have a xslt that is transforming a flat dataset and into a XML format that is structured.

I have extra data which is not in the dataset and i was going to use a config file to pull the data from and into the final XML.

1. Is this possible and if it is how do i write the config file.

2. What is the line of code that i need to add to the xslt or the final xml to enable this

I am not sure I understood exactly what you want to do, but XSLT has a function called document

This function will allow you to pull-in/query/use another XML document. Therefore, if you converted your config file to a XML document, you could use this.

If you are using a XSLT process like Xalan, you can pass it command-line parameters, so your values in your config file might be able to be passed, e.g.,

java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in a.xml -xsl a.xsl -out a.html -param font "8" -param height "5" -param width "10"
