synthaxe pb with > in xsl

hello

in my xsl file the following condition id well tested and works fine :
<xsl:if  test="string-length(Nuance) &gt;= 5">
....
</xsl:if>

but when i create in java (with the dom libraries) the xsl dom tree, i
don't succeed to write the xsl:if condition like this :

.....
If2.setAttribute("test","string-length('"+node+"') &gt; '5' ");
where node is the name of the current node.

I don't understand the pb. Moreover the following synthaxe works :

If2.setAttribute("test","string-length('"+node+"') > '5' ");

i'm afraid that these signs > or < are misunderstood in xsl

many thanks for your help

Lo.
