I assume your cinclude transformer substitures the actual value.
This is what you could do:
<xf:hidden ref="myprop">
<xf:value><ci:include link="..."></xf:value>
</xf:hidden>
Now after cinclude substitues the value, the XMLFormTransformer will not
(should not) use the value of the bean property, but the explicitly
specified value in the markup instead.
How is that?
