Hi,

I desire the output like this:
phone
phonedata11 phonedata12 phonedata13
phonedata21 phonedata22 phonedata23
phonedata31 phonedata32 phonedata33

fax
faxdata11   faxdata12   faxdata13
faxdata21   faxdata22   faxdata23
faxdata31   faxdata32   faxdata33

email
emaildata11 emaildata12 emaildata13
emaildata21 emaildata22 emaildata23
emaildata31 emaildata32 emaildata33

Following is my xml tree fragment

     <communicationmethodsActual PURPOSE="PHONE">
      ..... some more tags here - data 1 data 2 data3
     </communicationmethodsActual>
     <communicationmethodsActual PURPOSE="EMAIL">
      ..... some more tags here - data 1 data 2 data3
     </communicationmethodsActual>
     <communicationmethodsActual PURPOSE="PHONE">
      ..... some more tags here - data 1 data 2 data3
     </communicationmethodsActual>

My xsl looks like this:

<xsl:apply-templates select="communicationmethodsActual[@PURPOSE='PHONE']"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="communicationmethodsActual[@PURPOSE='FAX']"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="communicationmethodsActual[@PURPOSE='EMAIL']"/>

<xsl:template select="communicationmethodsActual">
  <xsl:call-template name="commMethods"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="commMethods">
  ... do the processing here i.e. data formatting
</xsl:template>

But, the apply-templates with attribute selection is not working. It doesn't select any node wih the above syntax.
I am using xalan XSLT processor (latest stable version) and FOP for print the pdf output.
The same code works fine when I use it in a standalone application, but doesn't work while using the embedded
FOP in a java application running on top of WebSphere Application Server 3.5.

Please help ?

Regards,
Vinod Agarwal.
