Jan VerhoekSubject: Evaluating parameter value
Author: Jan Verhoek
Date: 29 May 2007 06:03 PM
I'd like to set a default parameter value to the query operator '*'. So if no parameter is passed, my select with run against all (*). Like:


<xsl:param name="p_vat_code" select="'*'"/>
....
<xsl:apply-templates select="vat_code[code=$p_vat_code]"/>


This won't work unfortunately. Though the debugger will state that $p_vat_code equals * at the time of execution.

When I do this hardcoded like
<xsl:apply-templates select="vat_code[code=*]"/>
however, it sure works.

Except from using 'Choose' is the a better solution to this?

Thanks

The * is not interpreted as syntax sign but as the literal '*'. So if a vat_code would be '*' it would be selected. That's why it doesn't work.

One solution would be using xsl:when, like you stated. Other than that you could try to hand over the node itself instead of the "where clause" (not sure if this works, but you can try it):

----- Calling the Template

...
<xsl:with-param name="p_vat_code" select="vat_code[code=$var1]"/>
...

instead of:

...
<xsl:with-param name="p_vat_code" select="$var1"/>
...


----- Executing Template

<xsl:param name="p_vat_code" select="vat_code[code=*]"/>
...
<xsl:apply-templates select="$p_vat_code"/>

instead of:

<xsl:param name="p_vat_code" select="'*'"/>
....
<xsl:apply-templates select="vat_code[code=$p_vat_code]"/>
