xsl:choose versus xsl:if Which one to use??? 1

[aswolff]

I have an inbound xml document that needs to be converted based on logical condition:

IF
<LOCATION>50101</LOCATION>
<CLIENT_ID>1151</CLIENT_ID>
ON SOURCE DOCUMENT

THEN TARGET DOCUMENT:
<SITE_ID>KNJ<SITE_ID>

How can I create this in xsl? Not sure if I need to use:
xsl:if or xsl:choose?



Thank You.

Since xsl:if has no xsl:else, xsl:choose is probably the better choice.

Now perhaps I am not understanding your question. Are you really asking about a compound conditional statement?

Yes a conditional "AND"....do I nest them as below?

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="LOCATION='50101'">
<xsl:when test="CLIENT_ID='1151'">
<xsl:text>KNJ</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>


Thanks!!!

No that won't work very well!

You may simply do this:

<xsl:if test="LOCATION='50101' and CLIENT_ID='1151'">
  <xsl:text>KNJ</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>

The value of the test attribute of the xsl:if instruction is a boolean expression, so and and or are available as expected.
