I see a lot of folks on the list still offering advice for
incorporation
of logic into XSP ... my understanding is that this approach is
deprecated (and that even XSP was only ever a "stop gap" in the first
instance) - are there any official or wiki docs that demonstrate
a better way for logic incorporation [I would say via flow, but
am not yet up-to-speed with that...]

Hi Terry,
I had a similar problem and used XSP with a couple of Java classes to
generate the XML. Try sticking something like this in your XSP:
<xsp:logic>
BusinessObject1 busOb = new BusinessObject1();
busOb.setSomething(request.getParameter("something"));
// do whatever else you need with the request object
Document doc = null;
try
{
DocumentBuilderFactory factory =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
ByteArrayInputStream in = new
ByteArrayInputStream(busOb.toString().getBytes("UTF8"));
doc = builder.parse(new InputSource(in));
}
catch (Throwable t)
{
// do something with the error
}
</xsp:logic>
<xsp:expr>doc.getDocumentElement()</xsp:expr>
Hope that helps.
