Using XSP parameters inside a template tag

[Chris Newland <cn...@nortelnetworks.com>]

Hi, 

Is it possible to use a parameter you have defined in the xsp:logic section
of an xml page to pass a parameter to an xsl stylesheet template:

<page>

<xsp:logic>

String link="www.foo.com";

</xsp:logic>

<my_template url="{@link}"/>

</page>

Where: (in the XSL sheet)

<xsl:template match="my_template ">
	<a href="{@url}">Click here</a>
	<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

When I try this, the destination of the link is the literal {@link} so the
variable substitution I expected did not occur.

Can somebody tell me if this is possible and what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks,

If you want to reference the String link, you have to write
<xsp:expr>link</xsp:expr>
