Re: [xsl] not()'ing a false variable, xalan 2.4.D1

[Elizabeth Barham <lizzy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you Greg and David.

The reason I am trying to do this is because I have created a template
that tests for a certain condition and returns true or false, for
example:

  <xsl:template name="boolean-function-template">
    <xsl:param name="node-set"/>
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="$node-set/x">
        <xsl:value-of select="false()"/>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:when test="$node-set/y">
        <xsl:value-of select="true()"/>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <xsl:value-of select="false()"/>
      </xsl:otherwise>
     </xsl:choose>
   </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="/">

    <xsl:variable name="variable">
      <xsl:call-template name="boolean-function-template">
        <xsl:with-param name="node-set" select="."/>
      </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:variable>

    <xsl:if test="not($variable)">

... etc ...

Is there a better way to do it?
