Hi Joe, Sounds like you should be using an XSLT editor/tool instead of testing and debugging directly with Ode. The following should get you on the right track,
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version=" 1.0"> <xsl:output method="xml"/> <xsl:param name="key"/> <xsl:param name="replacement"/> <xsl:template match="//item" > <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test=" normalize-space(string) = $key " > <item> <xsl:apply-templates select="string[1]"/> <string><xsl:value-of select="$replacement"/></string> </item> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="*|@*|text()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> <!-- identity copy --> <xsl:template match="*|@*|text()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="*|@*|text()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> cheers, alex On 9/25/07, jbi joe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Im having a tifft of a time manipulating XML in my bpel. > I am using Netbeans 5.5 to create BPEL and it seems to > work OK.
