Re: how to setStyleSheetParam() passing a url

Here's a couple of ways you can do this...

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

  <xsl:param name="key">12345</xsl:param> <!-- Test value -->

  <!-- Technique 1, Using <xsl:text> and <xsl:value-of> -->
  <xsl:param name="url">
    <xsl:text>http://localhost:8000/servlet/servletName?objectKey=</xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="$key"/>
  </xsl:param>

  <!-- Technique 2, Use concat() function. -->
  <xsl:param name="url2"
     select="concat('http://localhost:8000/servlet/servletName',
                    '?objectKey=', $key)" />

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:value-of select="$url"/>
    <xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="$url2"/>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

If I try this from the command-line with Oracle XSLT,
passing a value for the parameter, I get:

$ oraxsl -p key='9988' data.xml test.xsl

http://localhost:8000/servlet/servletName?objectKey=9988
http://localhost:8000/servlet/servletName?objectKey=9988

Hope this helps.
