Access XML's attribute in JSP

How to get XML's attribute posID in JSP to set as value for HTML's option tag, as there no tag for accesing attributes?

XML: 

<vocabul>
    <PosWord posID="1">ABC</PosWord>
</vocabul>

JSP:

<x:parse xml="${sessionScope.places}" var="doc"/>
<select name="ChooseVoc">
    <x:forEach select="$doc/vocabul/PosWord" var="item">
        <option value="<x:out select="posID" />"/>
            <x:out select="Pos_Txt" />
        </option>
    </x:forEach>
</select>
Solution 
  • <x:parse xml="${sessionScope.places}" var="doc"/>
<select name="ChooseVoc">
    <x:forEach select="$doc/vocabul/PosWord" var="item">
        <option value="<x:out select="$item/@posID" />"/>
            <x:out select="$item" />
        </option>
     </x:forEach>
</select>

    works for me
