it's not necessarily true that you need to create a file for each
request.  resolving names (e.g. 'params.xml') into input streams is
a somewhat murky affair, which can be a PITA but can also provide a
certain amount of flexibility.  I'm sure it depends on the toolset
you're using, but in the Java world you can set a custom URIResolver
before you start the transformation, and that resolver can do just
about anything it wants, and return anything you like.
