(RADIATOR) Dynamic Vars

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Miko -

In answer to your question, no you don't need "pseudo-attributes" to be 
defined in your dictionary when you add attributes to the request. The 
dictionary is only used to decode the request off the wire and to 
encode the reply just before it is sent.

Once the request is in memory you can use it as a scratch-pad area for 
whatever you require and it will simply be discarded after processing 
so you don't have to worry about it.

regards

Hugh
