Laurent,

I simply specify the "use-request-parameters" option as follows:

<map:transform type=3D"xslt" src=3D"stylesheets/myStylesheet.xsl">
	<map:parameter name=3D"use-request-parameters" value=3D"true"/>
</map:transform>

The trick is to declare the request parameters you want to use at the =
top of
your stylesheet like this:

<?xml version=3D"1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=3D"http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version=3D"1.0">

<xsl:param name=3D"myRequestParameter"/>

... where "myRequestParameter" is the actual name of the request =
parameter
you wish to substitute in your stylesheet.  Then you can use=20

<xsl:value-of select=3D"$myRequestParameter"/>

for the substitution...

Hope this helps,

Aaron

Subject: Request parameter to a transformer


I need to provide a request parameter to a transformation.
Ex: http://.../application/page.xml?my-parameter=3Dvalue

I tried to send a parameter to this transformer this way:

   <map:match pattern=3D"application/**.xml">
    <map:generate src=3D"application/{1}.xml"/>
    <map:transform type=3D"my-transform">
	<map:parameter name=3D"my-parameter" value=3D"{my-parameter}"/>
    </map:transform>
    <map:transform src=3D"application/xmltohtml.xsl"/>
    <map:serialize/>
   </map:match>
This does not work. The request parameter "my-parameter" is not present =
as a
sitemap variable.

What is the correct way to do this ?
Using another matcher? inserting an action?
