Is it possible to load user.dir into an AVT

[Daniel]

Obviously, I'm a newbie to the XSLT lingo, But I was wondering if XLAN or
otherwise provides any internal mechanism for setting a param or AVT with
the current user.dir from the JVM? Looking from some like:

<xslaram name="location">

<xsl:text>${user.dir}/</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="$name"/>

</xslaram>

All you need to do in the XSLT is to declare the global parameter e.g.
<xslaram name="location" />
then the XSLT processor has an API to set such global parameters before
a transformation is run. If you are asking about Xalan Java then there
is not even an API specific to Xalan but the SUN JAXP API that most Java
implementations of XSLT 1.0 implement by now:
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/xml/transform/Transformer.html>
You then simply write your Java code reading out that property, create
your transformer, pass in the parameter and run the transformation.
