Value of the variable set with x:set , is [attribute_name=attribute_value] instead of just attribute_value

[Rashmi Rubdi <de...@yahoo.com>]

Hello, 
   
  I searched everywhere for a solution, but couldn't find an answer to this scenario:
   
  If I output the value of the attribute l_id as follows, the correct output - attribute's value - is being displayed
  <x:out select="$transformed/Products/Product[1]/@l_id"/>
   
  However, If I try the following, the value of attribute l_id is being printed as [l_id="some_value"] instead of just some_value
   
  <x:set var="key" select="$transformed/Products/Product[1]/@l_id" />
<c:out value="${key}"/>
   
  How do I make only the xml node's attribute value be stored in the variable while using x:set ?

Thank you, the solution you have provided works perfectly for my case.
   
  I was just wondering that if [attribute_name=attribute_value] does not have any purpose then, why not just set the value to attribute_value directly when using x:set
   
  If it does have a purpose then the way x:set works now is fine. Anyway this is probably for another discussion thread. 
   
  I think we can close this thread now. Thank you once again for the help.

One way:

<c:set var="key"><x:out 
select="$transformed/Products/Product[1]/@l_id"/></c:set>
<c:out value="${key}"/>
