xsp:attribute handled incorrectly

           Summary: xsp:attribute handled incorrectly
           Product: Cocoon 2
           Version: 2.0.4
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: cocoon-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: john@geekhavoc.com


This was originally posted to cocoon-users.  Since the only response there was a
general "Yeah, I've seen something like this too", I'm submitting it here.

I have some xsp:attribute values that are being added to the
wrong XML element.

With much stripping, my flow looks like:

<xsp:page>
  <my_root_tag>
    <xsp:attribute name="foo">bar</xsp:attribute>

    <esql:connection>
       <esql:row-results>
          <xsp:attribute name="name">
            <esql:get-string column="description"/>
          </xsp:attribute>
       </esql:row-results>
    </esql:connection>


    <esql:connection>
       <esql:row-results>
          <my_nested_tag>
          ...
       </esql:row-results>
    </esql:connection>

  </my_root_tag>
</xsp:page>

Unfortunately, the output looks like:

<my_root_tag foo="bar">
   <my_nested_tag name="some_description" />
   <my_nested_tag />
...etc...


So the name attribute is being assigned to the first nested tag
_after_ the xsp:attribute invocation.

Because I'm adding attributes to my root tag, I can't use
<xsp:element> to declare it.

This worked fine with AxKit, so either the XSP spec isn't nailed
down, or there's a bug with Cocoon, or I'm just showing my
ignorance again.

Software:
  Cocoon 2.0.4
  Tomcat 4.1.18
  Java 1.4.1 (beta)
