Xpath expression gives multiple values - xslt

Question

I have the requirement in which I need to match values
Buyer,BilltoParty,Shipto which can the value AGIIS-EBID or EAN or GLN
I am using XPath1.0 to extract these values and use the condition.
I am able to get correct value for the Buyer*
The problem I am facing is for Shipto and Billtoparty
Xpath for getting value for Shipto and Billto
//*[local-name()='ShipNotice']/*[local-name()='ShipNoticeBody']/*[local-name()='ShipNoticePartners']/*[local-name()='OtherPartner']/*[local-name()='PartnerInformation']/*[local-name()='PartnerIdentifier']/#*[local-name()='Agency']
Which gives the value as:
Agency AGIIS-EBID
Agency SCAC
Agency AGIIS-EBID
Agency AGIIS-EBID

<xsl:when test="$Buyer='AGIIS-EBID' and $Shipto='AGIIS-EBID' and $Billto='AGIIS-EBID' or $Buyer='EAN' and $Shipto='EAN' and $Billto='EAN' or $Buyer='GLN' and $Shipto='GLN' and $Billto='GLN'">
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
Partner didn't match the AGIIS-EBID or EAN or GLN
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Can anyone please help me on Xpath and also let me know the way I am doing the condition match is correct or not?
Expecting output
I am expecting the variables Buyer, Shipto, Billto should match the value == AGIIS-EBID, but the Xpath which I am using gives
Agency AGIIS-EBID
Agency SCAC
Agency AGIIS-EBID
Agency AGIIS-EBID

Answer 1

From looking at your XSLT, and seeing that your Shipto and Billto variables have the same declaration, I think what you are saying is that these currently match four nodes (or rather attributes), but you only want one.
Specifically, from looking at your XML, it looks like the crucial information is on the OtherPartner node
<ces:OtherPartner PartnerRole="ShipTo">
<ces:OtherPartner PartnerRole="BillToParty">
This means you need to add an extra condition after the current condition that matches OtherPartner. For example, for ShipTo the condition would be this:
<xsl:variable name="Shipto" select="
/*[local-name()='Envelope']
/*[local-name()='Body']
/*[local-name()='ShipNotice']
/*[local-name()='ShipNoticeBody']
/*[local-name()='ShipNoticePartners']
/*[local-name()='OtherPartner'][#PartnerRole='ShipTo']
/*[local-name()='PartnerInformation']
/*[local-name()='PartnerIdentifier']
/#*[local-name()='Agency']"/>
Of course, as pointed out in comments, if you know the namespace uri in the XML, it is preferable to declare them in the XSLT
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:dpconfig="http://www.datapower.com/param/config"
xmlns:cidx="urn:cidx:names:specification:ces:schema:all:4:0"
xmlns:dp="http://www.datapower.com/extensions"
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:ces="urn:ces:names:specification:ces:schema:all:4:0" extension-element-prefixes="dp">
Then you can "simplify" your variable to this for example
<xsl:variable name="Shipto" select="
soapenv:Envelope
/soapenv:Body
/ces:ShipNotice
/ces:ShipNoticeBody
/ces:ShipNoticePartners
/ces:OtherPartner[#PartnerRole='ShipTo']
/ces:PartnerInformation
/ces:PartnerIdentifier/#Agency"/>
And similary for your Billto variable. Just change the condition on the #PartnerRole attribute.
Additionally, you might want to consider putting some parentheses around you final condition
<xsl:when test="
($Buyer='AGIIS-EBID' and $Shipto='AGIIS-EBID' and $Billto='AGIIS-EBID')
or ($Buyer='EAN' and $Shipto='EAN' and $Billto='EAN')
or ($Buyer='GLN' and $Shipto='GLN' and $Billto='GLN')">
Or better still do this...
<xsl:when test="($Buyer='AGIIS-EBID' or $Buyer='EAN' or $Buyer='GLN')
and $Shipto=$Buyer
and $Billto=$Buyer">
