[dbforms] Selecting table using a variable?

Hi,

I already posted this to the developers mailing list, but I thought that there are possibly more people subscribed to this list.

 As I've seen, it is not possible to set the tableName attribute of the
 dbform tag using a variable/parameter, i.e. anything that is only
 available at runtime.

 First of all, trying to do so yields a ClassCastException in
 DbFromTagTEI.getVariableInfo in the line
 String table = data.getAttributeString("tableName");

 Perhaps this condition should be checked somewhere by
 data.getAttribute("tableName") != TagData.REQUEST_TIME_VALUE
 and returning a more meaningful error message.

 But, the intention of my writing this message was to ask if it were
 possible to allow the tableName to be set at runtime? This would allow
 for something like:

...

 <db:dbform tableName="<%= tableName %>">
 <db:header>
 <table>
    <tr>
      <td>
        <table align="left" border="1" rules="cols" >
          <%@ include file="<%= tableName + ".jsp" %>" %>
 <db:errors/>
 </db:header>

...

 Bye,
 Simon
