I'm no longer so sure about *any* of the variables working correctly.

I've now converted the static XML being served by lua into something which 
does the database lookups which I needed lua for in the first place, and that 
is working very nicely, however any variables included in the XML output are 
not being interpreted when the configuration is actually used by Freeswitch.

Does that mean that variables (for example, defined in vars.xml) simply cannot 
be used in XML when that XML comes from lua instead of being in a standard 
file?

What's the way round this, so that I can use the values variables as normal in 
a configuration file, when the configuration is being generated by lua?


Thanks,


Antony.
