How can I check if a value is null or empty with XSL?
For example, if categoryName
is empty? I'm using a when choosing construct.
For example:
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="categoryName !=null">
<xsl:value-of select="categoryName " />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="other" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

Edit: This covers the most likely interpretation, in my opinion, of "[not] null or empty" as inferred from the question, including it's pseudo-code and my own early experience with XSLT. I.e., "What is the equivalent of the following Java?":
For more details e.g., distinctly identifying null vs. empty, see johnvey's answer below and/or the XSLT 'fiddle' I've adapted from that answer, which includes the option in Michael Kay's comment as well as the sixth possible interpretation.
