$CONTEXT session not working with XSL condition

mm1

Hello,

 

1. I'm creating a component where I need to capture the user session and place it in a variable.
2. The variable will be used to do a condition.
3. When condition is matched, then replace the variable in the for-each selection to display the specific DCR.
4. User session role should match the DATUM ID, and display content.

 

Issue: It doesn't display anything via the browser. Blank page.

 

Here's the code -

 

Appearance:   
<xsl:template match="/">   
    
<xsl:variable name="role">$CONTEXT{session.userProfile.Role}</xsl:variable>  
    
<xsl:if test="$role = 'Manager'">
<xsl:variable name="selector">Manager</xsl:variable>
</xsl:if>

<xsl:if test="$role = 'Employee'">
<xsl:variable name="selector">Employee</xsl:variable>
</xsl:if>

 <xsl:for-each select="/Properties/Data/Datum[@ID=$role]/DCR/container/items"&gt;
 <xsl:value-of select="contents"/>
 </xsl:for-each>
    </div>
</xsl:template>

 

 

Content XML
<Datum ID="Employee" Name="Employee" Type="DCR">
    <DCR Category="TestDir" Type="Item">templatedata/TestDir/Container/data/default</DCR>
  </Datum>
  <Datum ID="Manager" Name="Manager" Type="DCR">
    <DCR Category="TestDir" Type="Item">templatedata/TestDir/Container/data/default</DCR>
  </Datum>

 

------------

 

If I change the for-each selection to <xsl:for-each select="/Properties/Data/Datum[@ID='Manager']/DCR/container/items"> - then it will work.

 

Any help or advise will be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

All of the $VARIABLE tokens provided by iwov get evaluated as the very last step in the rendering process. They're not going to be evaluated yet when your XSL runs. You'll have to use an External to provide this value to your XSL if you want to use it in this manner.
