taking output of XSP
Hi All,
What with the talk of a new dynamic <xsp:element/> tag, I'd like to bring
up another possible modification to XSP.
The FP TagLib has a Tag that directs it's contents to an external file as
opposed to the output document.
<fp:write to="file" as="node" select="blah">
<request:get-parameter name="blah"/>
</fp:write>
This works fine, request:get-parameter outputs an Element to fp:write.
But if someone wants to do this:
<fp:write to="file" as="node" select="." mode="insert-after">
<blah>
<title><request:get-parameter name="title"/></title>
<body><request:get-parameter name="body"/></body>
<flag><request:get-parameter name="checkbox" default="false"/></flag>
</blah>
</fp:write>
It all becomes rather complicated (or do I misunderstand?).
The fp:write Tag would have to take over xspCurrentNode and probably muck
around with the Node Stack, both of which I understand are not recommended!
Can I safely take over xspCurrentNode etc. or do we need a new mechanism
for this?
thanks Jeremy
