Hi, I'm not sure which path to follow or even start with. Here is my scenario: 1. a WebService provides the main content for an HTML report wich will be styled with XSLT (this part works already in my pipeline) 2. a 2nd WebService call will provided additional data that should be weaved into the resulting report of step 1). In the XSLT world (and being offline) I would read secondary or tertiary information from the harddisk into a variable with the document() function and pick the necessary data with the key() function (or whatever else is apropriate) to enrich my report. But with XProc, how should I pass the result of 2 or more http-requests to the XSLT step? Should I merge multiple XML documents into 1 by using p:pack or p:insert? The easiest for me would be to feed the stylesheet via parameters or options, but as far as I can see, this is not possible with XProc (it would keep my stylesheets compatible). If I'm successful with whatever turns out to work, I would like to enhance the basic flow with further steps, namely analysing the content of the primary http-request and use this to formulate constraints for further http-requests. An illusion? Any hints are welcome, Georges
