Issue with inline text

Hi,
I am trying to populate a text field with a simple string returned from a datasource. It does not work means even though datasource is getting executed and value is returned still DCT has blank value. I have gone through the previous posts and then returned something like below:

< html >
< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"? >< substitution >< default >+000010< /default >< /substitution >
< /html >

or

< html >
< substitution >< default >+000010< /default >< /substitution >
< /html >

Here is my DCT element:
< item pathid="waitTimeout" name="waitTimeout" >
< text required="t" >
< inline command="Datasource:executeComponent:getValueFromConfigDS:configKey=translation_wait_timeout"/ >
< /text >
< /item >

Please help me understand if I am missing something still.

Try the following highlighted fix:


  <item pathid="waitTimeout" name="waitTimeout"> 
        <text required="t">
<default>
           <inline command="Datasource:executeComponent:getValueFromConfigDS:configKey=translation_wait_timeout"/ >
</default>
        </text >
      </item >

I tried this as well. When this did not work I have wrapped the value with default element.

You can check that in the return value I have posted. This is what I have referred and done accordingly.

I am trying to populate a text field with a simple string returned from a datasource...

'inline' Tag Command must print valid 'substitution' XML into STDOUT. It is not sufficient just to return a
String. Either make sure that your Datasource generates proper STDOUT or use a wrapper to call Datasource
and output the result.

...returned something like
< html >
< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"? >< substitution >< default >+000010< /default >< /substitution >
< /html >

That's incorrect. substitution must be a root Tag of the returned XML. Correct string will be:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><substitution><default>+000010</default></substitution>

Doh! I was assuming that was broken formatting for the forum and not the actual output of the datasource - if so - that, in addition to using the default element should fix the issue.
