Wondering if anybody has successfully implemented applications using dp:variale() extension in XSLT, and hope to share experience and knowledge. I can't find a complete documents on how it is used, but have an article posted on IBM site (Link: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/0708_maze/0708_maze.html).

I am following the sample and can see from the Probe the context variables are set as global variables, but just can not get the value through dp:variable().

name                                                               type         value
var://context/tempvar1/_extension/variables          node-set   (show nodeset)
var://context/tempvar1/request/DestinationSystem string        'SYS1'
var://context/tempvar1/request/MessageID            string       'TEST0000000000000000000000000001'
var://context/tempvar1/request/OriginationSystem  string        'SOAPSCOPE'
var://context/tempvar2/_extension/messages         node-set   (show nodeset)


There values are retrieved in the following XSLT code, but they always come out as blank.

<responseheader:DestinationSystem>
 <xsl:value-of select="dp:variable('var://context/tempvar1/request/OriginationSystem')"/>
</responseheader:DestinationSystem>
<responseheader:OriginationSystem>
<xsl:value-of select="dp:variable('var://context/tempvar1/request/DestinationSystem')"/>
</responseheader:OriginationSystem>
<responseheader:CorrelationID>
<xsl:value-of select="dp:variable('var://context/tempvar1/request/MessageID')"/>
</responseheader:CorrelationID>
 
Any idea what's going wrong? Thanks for your attention.

 Thanks for your reply. The reason may be similar to what you have mentioned, there were some other xslt extensions mixed with dp extention. I separated them in two different transform actions, each has only one extention, then it worked.

After getting this one to work, I have not had this kind of problem any more.
