Hello, I switched from Xalan to Saxon recently because some initial testing between the 2 for what I am doing showed that Saxon was faster and can use less memory. I have 1 problem so far. When using Xalan, I was setting a parameter which was a org.w3c.dom.Document. ... transformer.setParameter("applicationXML",(Document) doc) ... to set this param in the xsl stlesheet. <xsl:param name="applicationXML"/> Then I was accessing the param like this from within the stylesheet: ... <xsl:template name="getTSQLBatchBySyncXML"> <xsl:variable name="rType" select="substring-after(name(.), 'r')"/> <xsl:variable name="rName" select="$applicationXML/d/rt[@key=$rType]/@nam"/> ... BUT when I use the "net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl" factory inplementation, it seems to set the param as doc.toString() Is there anyway to set a param with a document? Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jake

Also, if there is a better way to do what I am trying to do, I would love to know that too. The issue is that I have 2 xml sources. The one that I am trying to pass as a parameter into the stylesheet is basically static, but only lives in memory which is initialized when the webapp starts up. The second xml source comes from a database and is dynamic. thanks again, jake

If you're using Saxon 8.4, then DOM classes such as Document are recognized only if saxon8-dom.jar is on the classpath. Don't create a DOM specially for Saxon - Saxon's own tree implementation is much more efficient. You can supply any Source object as the value of the parameter (for example, a StreamSource) and Saxon will then build the tree itself (if it needs to). Michael Kay

Thanks for taking time to respond yourself. I'm all straightened out for now. It was sort of a thrill for me to get your email. I keep your XSLT Programmers Reference on my desk at all times. Its one of the most consistently useful books I have. -jake
