Hi community:

I am investigating how to use a conditional action with dp:variable to apply x or y condition into conditional action. Is it possible? Or only works with XML structure?

Ej:

if contains(dp:variable('var://service/URI'),'ABC') set variable 1

if contains(dp:variable('var://service/URI'),'XYZ') set variable 2

so on

I would like to avoid use xsl to apply this condition

Regards

I was trying this years ago and it wasn't working then (or I couldn't figure out how), and I suspect it has something to do with the lack of being able to define the 'dp' namespace in the conditional snippet.   I'll provide "my" solution, though I am interested to see if there are others.

So, I developed a tiny XSLT to write a variable's value to a simple XML for use in conditionals.

Here's the code below.  It has one parameter, into which you put the variable name without the "var://" prefix.  In your situation, you'd enter "service/URI" into the variable name field.   There are a couple of debugging statements to view in a debug level log when needed.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!--  ==================================================== --> <!-- Converts a variable value to XML.  This is ideal for conditional processing   --><!--  ==================================================== --> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"     xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"     xmlns:dp="http://www.datapower.com/extensions"    xmlns:dpconfig="http://www.datapower.com/param/config"     extension-element-prefixes="dp dpconfig"     exclude-result-prefixes="dp">  <!-- ================================================ -->  <!-- Name of variable containing the value to put into the xml document -->   <!-- ================================================ -->  <xsl:param name="dpconfig:variableName" />   <dp:param name="dpconfig:variableName" type="dmString" xmlns="">    <tab-override>basic</tab-override>    <display>Variable Name</display>     <description>The name of the variable whose value will be stored in the xml content without the 'var://' part</description>   </dp:param>    <xsl:template match="/">	  <xsl:variable name="dpVar" select="dp:variable(concat('var://', $dpconfig:variableName))"/>	  <xsl:message dp:priority="debug">Entered Variable Name: <xsl:value-of select="$dpconfig:variableName"/></xsl:message>	  <xsl:message dp:priority="debug">Entered Variable Value: <xsl:value-of select="$dpVar"/></xsl:message>  	  <xsl:element name="xml">		  <xsl:element name="var">			  <xsl:value-of select="$dpVar"/>		  </xsl:element>	  </xsl:element>  </xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>
