Hello, I'm using ... xalan I think (actually the ant xslt task, which I think uses xalan) ... to process an XML document wich contains some attrs with the value "false". I want the output document to output a "0" for false, 1 for true; in cases where the attr holding true/false is missing, assume true.

The input XML looks like this:

<data>
<foo name="apple" edible="false"/>
<foo name="banana"/>
</data>

I want the output document to look like this:

<data>
<foo name="apple" edible="0"/>
<foo name="banana" edible="1"/>
</data>

edible is defined in an assocuiated XML schema as xs:boolean

At some point in the transform I thought the following would work (assume $foo refers to a <foo>):

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$foo/@edible and $foo/@edible = false">0</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>1</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

But apparently not. Would somebody suggest a compact way of achieving the above, again asuming $foo.

Thanx
