See http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/apidocs/org/apache/cocoon/environment/Reque st.html#getAttribute(java.lang.String): public java.lang.Object getAttribute(java.lang.String name) http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/apidocs/org/apache/cocoon/environment/Sessi on.html#getAttribute(java.lang.String): public java.lang.Object getAttribute(java.lang.String name) Which means that attributes are *objects*, not strings, and compiler is right. However, xsp-request logicsheet provides you with conversion abilities: <xsp:logic> String s = <xsp-request:get-attribute name="name" as="string"/>; Object o = <xsp-request:get-attribute name="name" as="object"/>; </xsp:logic> <!-- Generates XML tag <xsp-request:attribute>attr value here</xsp-request:attribute> --> <xsp-request:get-attribute name="name" as="xml"/> Same holds true for session attributes.
