Laurent,
I think I'm almost there, however I'm getting an error
and I believe it is because I don't quite understand
your point #2 and making some mistake there. The
error that I get is:
org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: Failed to
execute pipeline.:
org.apache.commons.jxpath.JXPathException: Exception
trying to set value with xpath parameters/news-id;
Cannot set property /parameters/news-id, path does not
match a changeable location.
Please see my comments below.
Thanks,
-Alex

OK, I did that -- my coplet instance is named
"news-item-1" and the attribute "news-id". I also
noticed that the sample places the attributes in
coplet definitions rather than coplet instances, does
it matter?

I'm not sure what you mean. In my case I have 2
coplet instances: news-list-1 and news-item-1. Each
item in the news list needs to have a link to the
corresponding news item. So I put the above code in
the news-list-1 coplet and used the coplet-transformer
to generate the ancor tag.
When I click on the generated link, I get the "path
does not match a changeable location" error.

I think this is my case, since my news-list coplet
needs to call news-item coplet. Where do I place
this?
