Re: element selection based on attribute value notwork

Hi Mukul,
      thanks for all your help. I was so much frustrated with the
non-working of such a simple syntax of XPath.
But, I finally managed to find the reason of it. You won't belive, but this
is true. The reason is the attribute was in
UPPER-CASE, i.e. PURPOSE='PHONE' doesn't work in the WebSphere Application
Server deployed XSLT
and FOP code. The moment I made it "purpose = 'phone'" it started working
with my original approach.

This is really some ridiculous internal bug of either the JDK in VAJ/ WAS
or java implementation of Xalan or
FOP or SAX implementation of Xalan java processor.

We should report this bug to Apache I think.

Anyway, thanks for all the help. Good to see such prompt replies.

Regards,
Vinod Agarwal.

Hi Vinod,
the syntax you have posted is correct.. don't know why
its not working. You may also try --

<xsl:for-each select="communicationmethodsActual">
   <xsl:if test="@PURPOSE = 'PHONE'">
     <!-- some processing -->
   </xsl:if>
   <xsl:if test="@PURPOSE = 'EMAIL'">
     <!-- some processing -->
   </xsl:if>
   <xsl:if test="@PURPOSE = 'FAX'">
     <!-- some processing -->
   </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

But your way looks more elegant..

Regards,
Mukul
