Re: How to pass an attaribute value from a resulting transformed xml

[Jorg Heymans <jh...@domek.be>]

Thanks for making your situation a bit more clear.

I had a look at the docs to find a component that might suit your needs.

Have you tried using the WriteDomSessionTransformer [1]? I have never 
used it myself, but from the docs it seems like it could do the trick 
for you :

<map:transform type="writeDOMsession">
     <map:parameter name="dom-name" value="DBresult"/>
     <map:parameter name="dom-root-element" value="rowset"/>
</map:transform>

Apparently, this transformer stores an object called "DBresult" in the 
session, the object contains the DOM representation of your pipeline 
encapsulated inside a root "rowset" element.

Inside the action that sets the response header you could fetch this 
object, do some DOM searching until you find the title and voila!
