Hey,
I generate an XML in a servlet and then load it into a variable.
Now i want to browse true the XML and get the value of certain nodes and set them in a inputfield. But i can't figure out how to browse trough it, i know with Backbase 3.x you can easily do a String2XML, but is their such a future in Backbase 4.x ??
Thanx in advanced

<c:setAttribute" with="id('foo')" select="string($data/bar/baz/biz/text())" />
Note that no string2xml is needed. The content of the $data variable is an XML document, not a string. Perhaps BB4.x is checking the content-type header and automatically doing a string2xml?

Empty String

now i get an empty string element displayed.
<e:data type="text/xml">
<xi:include href="../XMLDataServlet" />
</e:data>
</e:variable>
after this i have a button with a handler
<e:handler event="click">
<c:setAttribute with="id('testingit')/input" name="value" select="string($varData/data/record/ROEPBB/text())" />
</e:handler>
Click me
</b:button>
It displays an empty String while their should be data in the tag I selected.
Empty String

The string function in xPath will return empty string if the node-set is empty.
You can try this code below, and it will not return empty string again.
<e:set property="value" with="id('testingit')/input" select="$sValue" />
Hope that helps,
Andys
