Re: [xsl] time from server to document

 Hi!

Our solution to time and date prob is:
(Xalan C and linux)

1. Use parameters in Xalan 

#!/bin/sh
#  This script is done for bash unix shell, but can be translated
#  easily for other skripting languages too
#
#
#Path to Xalan executable
XALAN="/usr/local/xml-xalan/c/bin/Xalan"
#   
#
# Used file
#
FILE=$QUERY_STRING
#
#
#All used paths 
XMLFILE="/var/www/xslt/$FILE.xml"
XSLFILE="/var/www/xslt/$FILE.xsl"
OUTFILE="/var/www/xslt/xmlout/$FILE.xml"
#
#
#Parameters to Xalan 
#
#
DATE="`date +"%d/%m/%Y %T"`"       #Day and time
TEST="hipsu!"
		   #Another param
#

#
# Do the processing
#
$XALAN -p date1 "'$DATE'" -p hipsu "'$TEST'" -o $OUTFILE $XMLFILE $XSLFILE
#
#
# Lets print it all out
#
echo "Content-type: text/xml"
echo ""
cat $OUTFILE
#
#EOF



2. In the xsl file:

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" standalone="no" />
  
HERE WE DECLARE THE PARAMETER. PARAM NEEDS TO BE OUTSIDE TEMPLATE MATCH.
      
  <xsl:param name="date1" select="'$date1'"/>
  DONT KNOW IS IT NECESSARY TO SELECT IT HERE???!!!

      <xsl:template match="Information">
                        
                        <LocateDate><TopicBorder>
                        <xsl:text>Location and Date</xsl:text>
                        </TopicBorder>
                        <Location>
                        <xsl:text>Location: Where ever</xsl:text>
                        </Location>


                        <Date><xsl:text>Date: </xsl:text>
                        HERE WE ADD IT TO THE XML FILE TO BE CREATED
                        <xsl:value-of select="$date1" />
                        </Date>
3. And the result is:
<LocateDate>
<TopicBorder>Location and Date</TopicBorder>
<Location>Location: Where ever</Location>
<Date>Date: 27/03/2002 10:11:35</Date>
</LocateDate>

So thanks to everyone who answered to my question.
