Dynamically generating the xpath for

[Mike Bowler]

Jakarta Standard Taglib version 1.0.2

I have the following statement which works fine on the xml document that I've loaded.

<x:out select="$doc//blog/blog-entry[@id = 'removespaces']/@title"/>

The problem is that I need to dynamicallly generate this xpath statement. When I hard code it as above, it works fine. When I try to generate it dynamically, I never get any matches. I've tried a variety of different syntax's but basically what I would expect to do is the following

<x:out select="$doc//blog/blog-entry[@id = '${param.article}']/@title"/>

I'm trying to take the value from ${param.article} and put it in where the string "removespaces" was in the first xpath. I've been reading through the JSTL spec but I can't find the answer to this one. Any thoughts?
