    <xsl:value-of select="$commandparam"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

My questions are:
1. If i want to read the parameter through -PARAM, is the above xsl correct?
2. what would be the command that runs in the commandline to pass on the parameter. would it be something like this..
java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN commandlineexp.xml
-XSL commandlineexp.xsl -OUT multi -PARAM commandparam commandparamvalue?

please let me know if i am wrong and in that case the correct syntax of the commandline statement and the xsl structure
