Passing Bound values to templates containing choice tags

Question

I have a template which loads a DataObjectList into a
<choice> tag.
The values im passing in, to be used for the column name: are not being interperted correctly.
The tag is using them as values to be rendered. i.e. 'output text'.
The value are actually column names within my table. For example:
<choice data:name="myChoiceBoxName@ui:rootAttr">
<contents data:childData="hashMapKey@dataProviderName">
<option data:text="dbColumnNameOne@ui:rootAttr"
data:value="dbColumnNameTwo@ui:rootAttr" />
</contents>
</choice>
I am certain the values passed in are correct.
The option tag is displaying the bound value as text.
I need this value to be interperted as a db column.
If I hardcode the column name in the 'text' field and hardcode the column name in the 'value' field it works fine. That approach is unacceptable and renders the template useless.
Is this expected behavior for this senario or is their some additional documention, besides Chapter 4 UIX Developer's Guide, that would clear this up?
Tks for any information.

Answer 1

Lets say you have a database table. Within that table you have a column called Address. I am passing the string 'Address' into the template.
Within the option tag, when I bind the value, instead of it going to the db and returning the 'value' of 'Address', it prints 'Address' within the choice box, once the box is rendered.
Now, If I hardcode 'Address' within the option 'value' field, when the choice box is rendered, it displays, '1004 AnywhereInUSA'.
Why dose it work when I hardcode the value, but when I try to bind, a bound value (the value passed in), it read as text?
