Hi Bill,

There is no default attribute for the document.  You have to put it into a new 
attribute. For example:

######
# Save the document into an attribute
######
initialize.stageType=Scripting
initialize.nextStage=<whatever>
initialize.failOnError=true
initialize.language=javascript
initialize.script=\
	document.put("main_document", document.toString());

Then, you can replace the current document by simply over-writing it with the 
contents of another attribute (or any other data from a script or file or 
whatever):

######
# Extract the response from the attribute and replace the document
# with the response
######
extract-response.stageType=Scripting
extract-response.nextStage=branch-on-error
extract-response.failOnError=true
extract-response.tracked=true
extract-response.language=javascript
extract-response.script=\
	document.setBytes(document.get("desired_attribute").getBytes());\
	document.setMimeType("text/xml");

After you're done processing, you can then use the above to place the original 
document back into the main document.

I have a test stage I use to dump all the attributes of a document.  You're 
welcome to use it:

-----------------------------------
######
# List all attributes on this document
######
get-attributes.stageType=Scripting
get-attributes.nextStage=console-writer
get-attributes.language=javascript
get-attributes.script=\
        var keyset = document.getAttributes().keySet();\
        var keyiter = keyset.iterator();\
        var bufr = new java.lang.StringBuffer();\
        bufr.append("<attributes>\\n");\
        while(keyiter.hasNext()) {\
                var key = keyiter.next();\
                var cls = document.get(key);\
                bufr.append(key + "=" + cls + "\\n");\
        }\
        bufr.append("</attributes>\\n");\
        document.setBytes(bufr.toString().getBytes());\
        document.setMimeType("text/xml");

######
# This stage is useful for testing; it writes the current document to stdout.
# Unfortunately, it only works under Unix.  Sorry... :-(
######
console-writer.stageType=FileWriter
console-writer.nextStage=null
console-writer.outputFile=/dev/tty
-----------------------------------

Hope this helps,

David
