Hi,
I'm having a problem with a really, really simple test ESB project that I cannot seem to solve.

I have an ESB service which all it does is receive an XML body sent via EBWS, parse it and populate a hash map and them populate another XML document using the contents of the hash map. This is the service:

 <service category="Performance" description="Web service to evaluate performance of the ESB" invmScope="GLOBAL"
 name="PerformanceTest">
 <actions mep="RequestResponse" inXsd="/MsgPerformanceRequest.xsd" outXsd="/MsgPerformanceResponse.xsd"
 validate="false" webservice="true">
 <action class="org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.SystemPrintln" name="InMessageAct">
 <property name="message" value="InMessage->>" />
 <property name="printfull" value="true" />
 </action>
 <action class="org.jboss.soa.esb.smooks.SmooksAction" name="request-response_transformer1">
 <property name="smooksConfig" value="/SmooksTransformIn.xml" />
 <property name="resultType" value="JAVA" />
 <property name="reportPath" value="/tmp/report-in.html" />
 </action>
 <action class="org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.SystemPrintln" name="InterMessageAct">
 <property name="message" value="Intermediate->>" />
 <property name="printfull" value="true" />
 </action>
 <action class="org.jboss.soa.esb.smooks.SmooksAction" name="request-response_transformer2">
 <property name="smooksConfig" value="/SmooksTransformOut.xml" />
 <property name="resultType" value="STRING" />
 <property name="reportPath" value="/tmp/report-out.html" />
 </action>
 <action class="org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.SystemPrintln" name="OutMessageAct">
 <property name="message" value="OutMessag->>" />
 <property name="printfull" value="true" />
 </action>
 </actions>

The first smooks call works and a hash map is created. I can see this in the message body

context: {}
body: [ objects: {org.jboss.soa.esb.message.defaultEntry-set-stack=java.lang.Exception: setPayload stack trace for 'org.jboss.soa.esb.message.defaultEntry'., org.jboss.soa
.esb.message.defaultEntry={PerfBean={DEmsgID=1, DEpayload=3453465687698, DEpayloadSize=23}}, SmooksExecutionContext={}} ]
fault: [ ]

The problem is with the second smooks xform when it tries to populate a freemarker template with the PerfBean bean. I see the following in the log file

2009-05-28 21:24:49,279 ERROR [freemarker.runtime]
Expression PerfBean is undefined on line 5, column 28 in PerformanceResponse.ftl.
The problematic instruction:
----------
==> ${PerfBean.DEpayloadSize} [on line 5, column 26 in PerformanceResponse.ftl]
----------

Java backtrace for programmers:
----------
freemarker.core.InvalidReferenceException: Expression PerfBean is undefined on line 5, column 28 in PerformanceResponse.ftl.

 at freemarker.core.TemplateObject.invalidTypeException(TemplateObject.java:134)
 at freemarker.core.Dot._getAsTemplateModel(Dot.java:78)

This is the template:

<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
 <env:Header/>
 <env:Body>
 <perf:Message xmlns:perf="http://perfws.test.com/ws/performance">
 <MsgPayloadSize>${PerfBean.DEpayloadSize}</MsgPayloadSize>
 <MsgPayload>${PerfBean.DEpayloadSize}</MsgPayload>
 </perf:Message>
 </env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

and this is the smooks config

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<smooks-resource-list xmlns="http://www.milyn.org/xsd/smooks-1.0.xsd">
 <resource-config selector="global-parameters">
 <param name="stream.filter.type">SAX</param>
 </resource-config>
 <resource-config selector="$document">
 <resource>PerformanceResponse.ftl</resource>
 <param name="action">replace</param>
 </resource-config>
</smooks-resource-list>

I've traced through the ESB and Smooks code and I can see the PerfBean being passed in but I lose track of it along the way.

I'm sure its a small tweak to be made to the project but I can't figure it out after a number of house of trying.
Anybody got any ideas ?

thanks for your help
