Simple XSP Ordering Problem

[Sonny Sukumar <ss...@EcologyFund.net>]

Using: Cocoon 2.0.3 with Tomcat 4.1.12 on Redhat 7.3

My problem is this:  I'm writing an XSP and trying to insert an attribute in the root element of my document.  The root element is <Product>, as this doc stores product info.  

Anyhow, a logicsheet inserts an
<xsp:attribute>
  <xsp:expr>products.getCategory(productId)</xsp:expr>
</xsp:attribute>

into my XSP within the <Product> element.  Now, the productId variable is declared like this *right* below the root <Product> element in the XSP:

<Product>
  <xsp:logic>
    String productId = <xsp-request:get-parameter name="productid" default=""/>;
  </xsp:logic>
 ...

The problem is that in the Java class generated for the XSP declares productId AFTER the attribute code tries to call products.getCategory using productId as a parameter.  This is the ONLY thing causing the error as far as I can tell, as the code works fine without putting in the attribute.

Note that NO MATTER WHERE the <xsp:attribute>..</xsp:attribute> code gets inserted within the <Product></Product> block, the generated Java code still has the same ordering problem.

Does anybody know how to fix this?  I would have put the productId declaration above the root element (i.e. made it a class member of the generated Java class), but apparently one can't use the xsp-request logicsheet tags at the class level.  I don't know why this is the case either.

Thanks for the help!

Sonny
