34	34	The xsl:system-property() standard function can be called with non standard arguments, mapped to Java properties. In this example, the name of the Java properties is stored in a separate XML file ([[properties.xml>>attach:properties.xml]]). The XSLT code will, for each property, display its name and its value.

78	78	__Note__ : as arrays are not a native type in XSLT, we create one in Java via split() before passing it as an argument to [[exec(String[] cmdarray)>>http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Runtime.html#exec(java.lang.String[])||rel="__blank"]].

	64	+=== Reading stdout ===
81	81
82	82	As the output have an unknown number of lines, we must use a __loop__ construct like "while" ... which is not available in XSLT. This limitation is due to the functional programming paradigm but can be circumvented using templates and recursion. This way, we can also __update__ some variables, but the syntax is awful and error prone.
