> It failes at the position @. But why? you can't just put an axis (or an abreviated axis such as @) straight after a predicate: you have to separate steps in an XPath expression with / so its ...] / @... not ...] @... so <xsl:when test="//*[contains(name(),'DebtManagement') and (//*[contains(name(),'DebtManagement')]/@action='add' or //*[contains(name(),'DebtManagement')]/@action='delete')"> is legal but doesn't test what you want to test. (do you really want to use // it's very expensive operation: searching the whole document to arbitrary depth) "//*[contains(name(),'DebtManagement') finds the elements you want but then (I think) you want to know if _those_ elements have an add or delete action, but your test just searches the entire document again (twice) finding the same eleemnts each time. I think you want //*[contains(name(),'DebtManagement')[@action='add' or @action='delete'] But if you can use something other than // it is likely to be more efficient. Or you could use a key.
