Need help with Map in Webmacro

Hi all,

   I am using Map in my webmacro templates and I see unexpected output on second and following

parses of this webmacro template. Here is the relevant WebMacro code

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#include as macro "macro.wmm"     ...

$Layout.parse("comps/globals.wm")

$Layout.setTitle("$currentDomainId-Editor tasks")

## this will set the "header" property based on our skin

$Layout.parse("comps/headswitch.wm")

$Layout.setLayout("layout/layout-normal.wm")

$Layout.setOnLoad("document.srchForm.keyword.focus()")

$Layout.addScriptFile("../p/js/nodes.js")

$Layout.addScriptFile("../p/js/wmpagelets.js")

$Layout.setProperty("footer","comps/myspace_tail.wm")

## The Map related code

curNodeMap1 : $curNodeMap <br>

#set $curNodeMap = {"a":"abc"}

curNodeMap2 : $curNodeMap <br>

#set $curNodeMap = {}

curNodeMap3 empty : $curNodeMap <br>

#set $curNodeMap = {"a":"abc"}

curNodeMap4 (a: abc) : $curNodeMap <br>

#set $no = $curNodeMap.put("b","bcd")

curNodeMap5 (2 elements): $curNodeMap <br>

<a href="Nodes?request=Post&treeType=cat&urlid=pantoto&req=101"> click me </a>

******************************

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The <a> link calls the servlet that calls this webmacro template again.

When called for the first time this is the output produced (which is what is expected).

##############  OUTPUT ###################

 curNodeMap1 :

 curNodeMap2 : {a=abc}

 curNodeMap3 empty : {}

 curNodeMap4 (a: abc) : {a=abc}

 curNodeMap5 (2 elements): {a=abc, b=bcd}

 click me ******************************

##############  END OF OUTPUT ###################

But when I try to call the servlet again (by clicking on the link), then I get a

different output which is not expected.

##############  OUTPUT ###################

 curNodeMap1 :

 curNodeMap2 : {a=abc}

 curNodeMap3 empty : {}

 curNodeMap4 (a: abc) : {a=abc, b=bcd}

 curNodeMap5 (2 elements): {a=abc, b=bcd}

 click me ******************************

##############  END OF OUTPUT ###################

It appears to be bug in the current release of webmacro.

Or am I doing something wrong.

Hope someone has some insight.

Thanks in advance,

Raghavan.
