Accessing xspCurrentNode from xsp

Hi,

I have searched, to no avail.  I am writing an xsp page, and attempting to
access both the document and xspCurrentNode variables in order to add nodes
to the document.  I am pulling these "other" document fragments from a
Tamino xml database.  Whenever I try to reference 'document', in my
<xsp:logic/> element, I get an 'Undefined variable: document' message during
the compilation of the xsp page.

According to the documentation at http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/xsp.html,
this should be possible.  Is this different with Cocoon2?

I am using Cocoon2 with Tomcat 3.2.3.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe it's where you're referencing the document variable.  You might only be able to reference it after you output a root node.  That changes the location of where your code goes in the generated XSP file.  i.e.:

Not this:
<xsp:page
         language="java"
         xmlns:xsp="http://apache.org/xsp"
 >
         <xsp:logic> ... document ... </xsp:logic>
         <root>

This:
<xsp:page
         language="java"
         xmlns:xsp="http://apache.org/xsp"
 >
         <root>
         <xsp:logic> ... document ... </xsp:logic>


This is just off the top of my head, though, so I might be off-base.  I seem to remember having run into this before though.

HTH.
