I thought you might like the transformer tag :-)
Thanks for the clarification - I understand now. Yes that code should work
fine against the current XTags CVS image or against tonights nightly build.
Currently the XML tags in JSTL don't support this functionality either.
Shawn, do you want to apply a similar patch to the XML tags in JSTL, to
allow a parameter value to be an Object? I'll do it if you like? Basically
Transformer.setParameter(String name, Object value) can take a value of
Object rather than just a String. It would need a change to the param tag in
JSTL to support supplying a value...
<x:transform ...>
<x:param name="foo" value="$bar"/>
</x:transform>
