Initially just have a look at its parameters.
Thought I'd try and output a system parameter as a way of using it.
Due to the parameter malarky I'm having a great difficulty accessing it!

E.g.
In a pipeline

<p:xslt name="trsf">
  <p:input port='stylesheet'>
    <p:document href="step1.xsl"/>
  </p:input>
  <p:input port='parameters' select=""/>
</p:xslt>

causes an npe from Saxon/calabash.


But

<p:xslt name="trsf">
  <p:input port='stylesheet'>
    <p:document href="step1.xsl"/>
  </p:input>
</p:xslt>

Shows

[dpawson@marge tests]$ calabash.sh -i source='step1.xml' step1.xpl
Error
  Cannot find a matching 1-argument function named
{http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc}system-property()


I have both saxon9-s9api.jar and calabash in my classpath

The stylesheet just uses xsl:value-of
select="p:system-property('p:product-name')"


regards
