Re: jxpath in XML comments

[Christopher Oliver]

Ok, now you've jogged my memory: yes it does do substitution even in 
comments.  I'm not sure if it's useful, but that allows you to 
"generate" comments. But go ahead and remove that behavior if you think 
that would be better without it.

Can you explain what you mean in more detail? As far as I can tell
from your description, what you're trying to do should work.
   

Say I had this jxpath file:

<parameters xmlns:jx="http://apache.org/cocoon/templates/jx/1.0";>
 <from>${from}</from>
 <to>${to}</to>
 <status>${status}</status>
</parameters>  

And this SendPage:
sendPage("page.html", {"from": from, "to" : to, "status": status} );
Then you decide you don't need status, so it becomes:

sendPage("page.html", {"from": from, "to" :to} );

And you change your jxpath to:
<parameters xmlns:jx="http://apache.org/cocoon/templates/jx/1.0";>
 <from>${from}</from>
 <to>${to}</to>
<!--  <status>${status}</status>-->
</parameters>  

You'll get an error, as it can't find $status. So it is still trying to do a replacement, even 
inside the XML comments. I'm wondering if this is the intentional behaviour.
