My error lies here. The #()# does not get evaluated inside Cache
strings ("-quotes), but does inside '-quotes. So the
init="#(o.kieli)#" is passing #(o.kieli)# instead of the value of
o.kieli. The solution was to pass o.kieli as string
(i.e. init="o.kieli"). This works because in the csr <action> I use
compile time code to insert the o.kieli string into runtime code.
