Problems using the XSLT Mediator

Although the prolog errors have been resolved, I am finding that the XPATH is not resolving to give the value I was looking for. I need help with figuring out what the XPATH expression should be. Please provide some help with how the problem can be solved by either approaches 1) Specifying the Source paramter 2) Modifying the XSL. I am attaching the file that has the Input to XSLT / XSL Stylesheet / the Output of XSLT THE tag is always empty - it should be 'Seattle' based on the incoming request values. Thanks Rahul

When I used the SOAP UI tool to send a SOAP Request - The XSLT mediator worked. The SOAP Tracer showed no "& lt;" characters in the SOAP request. When I used either the WSO2 'Try it' or an Axis 1.4 client, I always see the "& lt;" character instead of "<" and XSLT mediator fails to execute the XPATH. First Question - Why does this happen ? I was finally able to get the XSLT mediator to work by putting a custom Class Mediator in front of the XSLT mediator to cleanup the "& lt;" characters. I wish I did not have to do this since this quickly starts looking like patch code. Thanks Rahul

XSLT is a declarative, XML-based language used for the transformation of XML documents into other XML documents. The original document is not changed; rather, a new document is created based on the content of an existing one. The new document may be serialized output by the processor in standard XML syntax or in another format, such as HTML or plain text. XSLT is often used to convert XML data into HTML or XHTML documents for display as a web page: the transformation may happen dynamically either on the client or on the server, or it may be done as part of the publishing process. It is also used to create output for printing or direct video display, typically by transforming the original XML into XSL Formatting Objects to create formatted output which can then be converted to a variety of formats, a few of which are PDF, PostScript, AWT and PNG. XSLT is also used to translate XML messages between different XML schemas, or to make changes to documents within the scope of a single schema, for example by removing the parts of a message that are not needed.
