RE: get parameter from xalan command line



This is just nit-picking, but remember that the param name on the command
line ("testParam") must match the declared name (and subsequent usage of the
variable) in the stylesheet (not <xsl:param name="textParam"/>, but
<xsl:param name="testParam"/> and <xsl:value-of select="$testParam"/>)

You've done two of the three things you need to to; the third is to declare
the parameter in your stylesheet, with a top-level declaration:

<xsl:param name="textParam"/>
