My understanding is that updateData method on datapath needs to have a
datapath which actually
points to a 'terminal' element that returns a value, i.e.,
<inputtext datapath="ds:/stuff/@input" text=" $path{'@input'}" >
I'm not sure why edittext works without such a path. The $path
expression doesn't set the datapath
automatically. It is just an accessor.
If it used to work to say <inputtext datapath="ds:/stuff" text="
$path{'@input'}" > we should find out which
changeset caused it to stop working, and why.
