I have a page which is using xsl to render the data and I can't figure out how to access the model data from the xsl:value-of - can anybody help, my page is shown below -

<xhtml:html xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xmlns:xforms="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms"
      xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events"
      xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
      xmlns:xxforms="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/xforms"
      xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
      xmlns:ui="urn:ui"
      xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
      xsl:version="2.0">
     
    <xhtml:head>
    <xforms:model xmlns:xforms="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms">
        <xforms:instance id="my-data">
            <root>
                <data1>1</data1>
                <data2>2</data2>
            </root>
        </xforms:instance>
    </xforms:model>
    </xhtml:head>
    <xhtml:body>
                Data = <xsl:value-of select="document('#my-data')/root/data1"/>
    </xhtml:body>
</xhtml:html>

The reason I am doing this is that my page has a table with a summary of 5 items in my input data. When the user selects one of the rows I replace my-data with the details of one of the selected items (it's a bit inefficient because my XPL just copied details from the instance in the page to my-data, but I need some way of refreshing the xsl view).

I suppose I could have converted my data to html in the xpl and then just used an xforms:output to print my ready converted detail view, but I want to have triggers in the details view, I wasn't sure if they would work if they were produced elsewhere.

I'm sure I haven't described myself very well. So I have attached my test page and data. You need the following in the page-flow to use it -

    <page id='test-journey2' path-info="/ras/test/test-journey2" default-submission="test-journey-result.xml" view="test-journey2.xhtml"/>

    <page id='test-journey2-select-page' path-info="/ras/test/refresh/test-journey2" view="select-journey.xpl"/>

Essentially I want to allow the user to select a row in the table and see the details of that journey, and then I want to add trigger buttons to the journey details to go to a bigger map display (the images are maps when the correct URL is used).

<<test-journey-result.xml>> <<test-journey2.xhtml>> <<select-journey.xpl>>
