xsl:variable and logicsheets

I was wondering, can someone tell me why this would not work?  I keep
getting an error ...

<xsp:page>
    <xsl:variable name="rand"><my-util:random-number
ceiling="10"/></xsl:variable>

    <message>the number is <xsl:value-of select="$rand"/></message>
</xsp:page>

I am trying to store the output of a xsp logicsheet, which returns a number,
into an xsl variable and then I want to use it later.  If i just put the
<my-util:random-number ceiling="10"/> in the <message> itself it works but i
need it stored in a variable.

Thanks,
Sean

because the value of the xsl:variable needs to be resolved at logicsheet
application time, whereas the value of my-util:random-number is resolved
at page run time. if you want to put that value in a variable, by all
means, put it in a variable:

<xsp:page>
 <page>
  <xsp:logic>
   int random = <my-util:random-number ceiling="10"/>;
  </xsp:logic>
  <message>the number is <xsp:expr>random</xsp:expr></message>
 </page>
</xsp:page>
