I sometimes need this type of feature to get the result of some expression (I'm not
really working with ESQL specifically) that is an XML document or fragment. Sometimes
you just want to show the XML result without writing a stylesheet that reproduces the
text to display the elements in HTML. For instance, if you wanted to display a raw
SOAP response with a construct like
<pre><![CDATA[ <soap:call>...</soap:call>]]></pre>
But obviously as John stated, the fact that the expression is already in CDATA means
that it won't get evaluated at all. What would be nice in XSP are node-construction
tags like those found in XSLT, such as xsl:attribute. Having something like
<xsp:cdata> to complement <xsp:text> would be nice. But then again, I guess you could
write a logicsheet to perform this sort of function:
<my-prefix:cdata>
<!-- My XSP/SOAP/ESQL/whatever expression -->
</my-prefix:cdata>
Then the expression should already be evaluated before YOUR logicsheet replaces
<my-prefix:cdata/> with <![CDATA[...]]>. I hope this helps.
