hi
i have a doubt
i have an xml input file ,it contains a container,in that container it contains different parameters ,from that i want to write code



xml code
<container>
<container:parametervalues>
<container:enum>parameter1</container:enum>
<container:value>data<container:value>
<container:enum>parameter2</container:enum>
<container:value></container:value>
<container:int>parameter3</container:int>
<container:value>3</container:value>
<container:boolean>parameter4</container:boolean>
<container:value>true</container:value>
</container:parametervalues>
</container>

like this it contains 4 containers with same parameters with same or different values

perl code
if($parameter1!='data')
{
if($parameter2='')
{
print error
}
if($parameter3='3')
{
print error
}
}

i wrote the xslt code like this but it not fetching the values properly

xslt code


<xsl:if test="DEF= '/container/parameter1'">
<xsl:if test="VALUE != 'data'">
<xsl:if test="DEF= '/container/parameter2'">
<xsl:if test="'VALUE' = ''">
error:the value is not configured
</xsl:if>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="DEF= '/container/parameter3'">
<xsl:if test="'VALUE' = '3'"> error:the value is 3
</xsl:if>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:if>

now based on these codes i need in xslt
the problem is not fetching the values properly
i tried different methods but its not coming
plz reply as soon as possible

I don't really understand what you are trying to achieve, why are you comparing values with strings of XPath? For instance DEF= '/container/parameter1'. Can you explain the business rules a bit more?

Firstly, your XML isn't well-formed so I'm surprised you can process it at all. In <container:enum> you are using "container" as a namespace prefix, but you haven't declared it anywhere (I would expect to see xmlns:container="some....uri".)

Let's imagine you solve that by getting rid of the namespace, so it reads

<parametervalues>
<enum>parameter1</enum>
<value>data<value>

You can now find the value of parameter1 using the path expression

/container/parametervalues/*[.='parameter1']/following-sibling::value[1]

However, this is a very odd way to design your XML. Why not use

<parameter name="parameter1" type="enum" value="data"/>
