Re: Beginner question: Accessing XML-Attributes via Template?

I am new to "smooks and freemarker".I want access elements in xml document.I
am getting this exception while acessing xml element.I am sending my code.

Exception:-
------------

 For "${...}" content: Expected a string or something automatically
convertible to string (number, date or boolean), but this evaluated to a
sequence+hash (wrapper: f.e.dom.NodeListModel):
    ==> employee["first_name"]  [in template "free-marker-template" at line
1, column 84]

----
Tip: This XML query result can't be used as string because for that it had
to contain exactly 1 XML node, but it contains 0 nodes. That is, the
constructing XML query has found no matches.
----
----
FTL stack trace ("~" means nesting-related):
    - Failed at: ${employee["first_name"]}  [in template
"free-marker-template" at line 1, column 82]

----
Java stack trace (for programmers):
----
