Is that an oversight or by design? Xscript wasn't maintained well; I already fixed several issues with it. This is just one more. > - this seems similar to the abilities of some of the sunShine code. Exactly. It overlaps with webapps.session a bit, although it is different. Session context can be accessed / manipulated in transformation stage only, while xscript works in generation stage, as logicsheet. > Does SunShine use XScript (not from my searches)? No. They are completely independent (atm). > Is one or the other the > prefered method for manipulating XML snippets? I'm thinking on unifying these two approaches; I'd like to make them share common variable space. Then, it will be two approaches, and difference will be in a stage - generation vs transformation, same difference we see in SQLTransformer vs ESQL logicsheet.
