That
was actually the route that I first tried, and I couldn't figure out why it
wasn't working. When I hardcoded the values, it worked, when I had a choose
statement, it didn't.
I
could be wrong, but here's what I've concluded: the draft.watermark.image value
needs to be set before the scripts actually start parsing the xml file and
laying out the FO, therefore, I can't use the contents of the XML to set the
value of the parameter in the usual fashion; sneakiness is needed.
Thoughts?

Parameters can
contain all kinds of interesting things. For example, you might do something
like this:
<xsl:parameter
name=”draft.watermark.image”>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when
test=”//imagedata[@role = ‘watermark’]”><xsl:value-of
select=”//imagedata[@role =
‘watermark’]/@fileref”/></xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>path/to/default/watermark.png</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:parameter>

Subject: Setting the
draft.watermark.image parameter value
Hi
all,
I'm trying to allow
my users to set their own watermark simply by defining an image labeled
"watermark" within their document. This means I need to set the value of
the draft.watermark.image value dynamically. This is a little difficult
because, as far as I can tell, the parameter value needs to be set
before the target file is processed (makes sense, just inconvienent at the
moment). Is there any boilerplate way of getting around
this?
Thanks,
Jeff
