Re: Re: Conditional XSL Variable

One problem I see is that
<xsl:value-of select="$lookupTable/map:table/map:otherwise"/>
will output an empty string because
"$lookupTable/map:table/map:otherwise"
has no text() node in it.  Perhaps you meant:
<xsl:value-of select="$lookupTable/map:table/map:otherwise/@codeB"/>

Similarly
<xsl:value-of select="$lookupTable/map:table/map:entry[@codeA=$valueOfCodeA]" />
will output an empty string.
Perhaps you meant
<xsl:value-of select="$lookupTable/map:table/map:entry[@codeA=$valueOfCodeA][1]/@codeB"
/>

You should also try putting <xsl:message><value-of
select="$valueofCodeA"/></xsl:message> in for debugging purposes in
case $valueofCodeA is different than what you expected.
