Re: JXTemplate initialization in non-flowscript scenarios

[Daniel Fagerstrom]

Need more info to be able to help. Somwhere in your script you access a 
value in a jx:set that cannot be evaluated by jxpath, maybe you are 
calling an extension function, not sure though. Can you isolate the 
expression it happens for.

It seem like commons-beanutils not is found, maybe you could add a 
<library name="commons-beanutils"/> to the cocoon-block-template 
definition in gump.xml. But if that is the case I don't know why it work 
without it if you use flow.

thrown:
