I urge anyone considering using XSLT to STOP and take a look at freemarker.
Freemarker has excellent support for XML inputs http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/docs/xgui_imperative_learn.html including XPath You can push java objects into the freemarker context including config and helper classes. XSLT is a very verbose templating language and you will find that freemarker drastically reduces the size of your template files and increases readability You can create custom tags and macros with ease You will generally find it a much less frustrating experience If I go for a job interview and find out that they use XSLT extensively, I run for the hills!!!
