Hi David,
Fixed element names with dynamic attributes works for me. Thanks
for your help. After looking around in Cocoon code, I found that
dynamic element name creation is also supported! Here's a sample:
<xsp:element>
<xsp:param name="name">
<esql:get-column-name column="1"/>
</xsp:param>
<esql:get-string column="1"/>
</xsp:element>
The above example would create an element which has the name
of first column of the query.
