My Java Tips

Consider the scenario: You have xml data and you need to filter some data out. You may do that in Java but its open a good idea to keep the logic separate in XSLT filters.

if-then-else condition is done the following way in XSLT:

Java Code:

<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="...">
    ...
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:when test="...">
    ...
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:otherwise>
    ...
  </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

If you only want a simple if condition, then you should use the following:

Java Code:

<xsl:if test="{$x && $y && $z}">
	....	
</xsl:if>

Logical AND amd OR are always helpful. The above condition reads like: if the value of "x" exists and the value of "y" exists and the value of "z" then do something.
