Tags: Passing dynamically generated values for parameters

[Sreedhar Chintalapaty]

Title: Glacier

I am stuck for the last two days, and having scourged the newsgroup postings, I think a direct appeal is okay...   My entire project revolves around being able to do something like this, and my go-live date is nearing, so please, h-e-l-p.   The problem is this:   I have a custom logic sheet with a method called list-people. It takes in a parameter called "class", and calls the appropriate helper class to do its stuff. The tag code looks like this: <xsl:template match="gvsdb:list-people">     <xsl:variable name="class"/>     <util:include-expr>         <util:expr>             <xsp:expr>                 (XMLGenerator.toXML(<xsl:value-of select="@class"/>Helper.getAll())).asXML()             </xsp:expr>         </util:expr>     </util:include-expr> </xsl:template> In an xsp file called people.xml, I call this tag to populate a table, like so:    <gvsdb:list-people class="Singer"> This works fine.   Now I try (in vain) to make this dynamic by getting the value of "class" from an identically named request parameter. I tried a bunch of options, such as: <xsp:element name="gvsdb:list-people">     <xsp:attribute name="class">         <xsp:expr>             <xsp-request:get-parameter name="class"/>         </xsp:expr>     </xsp:attribute> </xsp:element>   This one fails! Instead of executing the tag, it merely writes it out to the output as <gvsdb:list-people class="Singer"> How do I make this work and populate the table?     Best Regards, Sreedhar Chintalapaty _______________________________________ A computer is like an Old Testament god, with a lot of rules and no mercy - Joseph Campbell
