Chris, a couple of things...
I noticed in books.jspx you used mixed case for the "onSale" element
tags. Try changing these as well as the references to them to all
lowercase. So your definition in books.jspx will read: <onsale>$
{book.onSale}</onsale> and to retrieve this value in bookcatalog.jsp
you'd use <x:out select="${book/onsale}" />, for example.
I also noticed that in bookcatalog.jsp where you retrieve the xml
value of onsale and assign it to sale, you have <x:out select="${book/
@onsale}" /> rather than <x:out select="${book/onsale}" />.
Hope this helps...
