Just coming back to this to say after further testing, for anyone copying in future, actually you can lose some of your setups if you just strip the \starttext \xmlprocessfile ... \stoptext from the environment file completely. Wolfgang's original recipe solves that problem.

Thanks both. I stripped out the \starttext \xmlprocessfile ... \stoptext from my tex file and just used the command line invocation as suggested and it worked perfectly. So I've learned two things for the price of one!

Thanks again.

Do you actually need
\xmlprocessfile{...}{\inputfilename}{} 
?
 
I just use 
context --environment=mytexfile myxmlfile.xml
and it works just fine.

Hello list. I feel this should be an easy question to answer but I
couldn't find a hint.
 
I have a ConTeXt file which pulls in an XML file for processing using
the command
 
\xmlprocessfile{mydomain}{myXMLfile.xml}{}
 
I would like instead to call context with the XML file name in the
command line (so that I can use the same ConTeXt setups on multiple XML
sources).
 
How can I do that?
\xmlprocessfile{...}{\inputfilename}{}
 
and process it with
 
context --environment=mytexfile myxmlfile.xml
