RE: little off-topic / setting value of a variable as consequence of some tests

[Ma...@nokia.com]

hi,
	sorry for not replying to the list
since i should have an output like
<element1>value-of variable1</element1>
<element2>value-of variable2</element2>

i solved the question by calling two different templates, one that output
the value of the variable and
the other that insteand output null as value of variable

sorry all

regards
	marco
