hi.
is it possible to use xsp to generate several sql-statements which can 
be transformed with the sql-transformer?

example
<xsp:logic>
private String writeSQLOutput() {
      StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("");
      String[] id = request.getParameterValues("ids");
      if(id!=null) {
        for(int i=0;i &lt; id.length;i++) {
          sb.append("<sql:execute-query 
xmlns:sql=\"http://apache.org/cocoon/SQL/2.0\";>");
          sb.append("<sql:query 
xmlns:sql=\"http://apache.org/cocoon/SQL/2.0\";>");
          sb.append("INSERT INTO cmdb2customer (cmdb_id,customer_id) 
VALUES "+ id[i] + ", 5");
          sb.append("</sql:query>");
          sb.append("</sql:execute-query>");
        }
      }
      return sb.toString();
    }
  </xsp:logic>
<content>
    <xsp:expr>writeSQLOutput()</xsp:expr>
</content>

<xsp:page>
my problem is, that this leads to an error (Open quote is expected for 
attribute "xmlns:sql" associated with an element type "sql:query")

second problem is, if i change
<
to
&#60;
or to
&lt;
 or to
<![CDATA[<]]>
the output that is generated contains &lt; instead of the character "<".
if anyone here knows how can i write the "<"-character out of a String 
that could probably help.... other ideas are welcome too. thanks a lot.
The usual way of dealing with this type of problem is with DOE.
How about:
<xsp:logic disable-output-escaping="true"> ... </xsp:logic>
Does that work?
Maybe try that on the <xsp:page> element?
I've not used XSP, and I don't know what gets output where or how.
