I absolutely agree with you and I started using JXPath, but unfortunetly I haven't managed to get the JXTemplate jx:forEach 'end' 'begin' tags to work with JXPath, nore the jx:macro??? which got me to jexl my problem here is that , the jexl is in a forEach which is itself is looping on a forEach, so my jexl call is relative to the first forEach context. ****************************************** My doc is like this: <rooms> <room><desc maxoc="12">text0</desc></room> <room><desc maxoc="5"/>text1</desc></room> <room><desc maxoc="6"/>text2</desc></room> <room><desc maxoc="9"/>text3</desc></room> </rooms> ***************************************** This is in my html_jx page: <jx:forEach select="#{rooms/room}" varStatus="status"> <jx:macro name="tablerows"> <jx:parameter name="maxoc"/> <jx:forEach begin="0" end="${maxoc}" step="1" varStatus="statoc"> <tr> <td><script>${statoc.count}</script></td> <td><script>${statoc.count*24}</script></td> <td><script>${maxoc}</script></td> </tr> </jx:forEach> </jx:macro> <table> <tbody> <tablerows maxoc="${description.getAttribute('maxoc')}"/> </tbody> </table> </forEach> ************************************* So as you can see the jexl element I need is relative to each room, can someone help me retreive the /rooms/room/description/@maxoc for each room ??
