Josh,
I agree with Philip, and raise him $10. Your XSLT in general could be
cleaned up, and might behave better if it were...
Instead of
<xsl:when test="count(object/data/row) > 0">
<xsl:value-of select="/object/data/row[1]/field[(_at_)ref='f1']"/>
</xsl:when>
try test="object/data/row" (avoids count function and greater-than test,
with the same result of testing true if the node exists).
Likewise, instead of
<xsl:when test="boolean(/object/securityacl)=true">
<xsl:value-of select="/object/securityacl"/>
</xsl:when>
Just <xsl:value-of select="/object/securityac1"/> will return the value of
the node if it exists, nothing if it doesn't. (The boolean test in the when
is buggy, it should be test="boolean(/object/securityacl)=true()" except
like the other this is quite redundant.)
In fact, the first one looks like a buggy version of the same problem as
the second (there is a difference between object/data/row and
/object/data/row unless your template is matching the root, which I'm
guessing it is). If this is the case, you don't need the when test around
the first value either.
The only reason you can't simply do
<xsl:value-of select="/object/data/row[1]/field[(_at_)ref='f1']"/>
<xsl:value-of select="/object/securityacl"/>
is that apparently these are meant to be exclusive -- and you want your
00000000 if neither of the others is there.
Scrubbed, your logic would be (assuming your template matches the root, as
I'm guessing):
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="/object/data/row">
<xsl:value-of select="/object/data/row[1]/field[(_at_)ref='f1']"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="/object/securityacl">
<xsl:value-of select="/object/securityacl"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>00000000</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
Which is the same as (less intelligible but more concise):
<xsl:value-of select="/object/data/row[1]/field[(_at_)ref='f1']"/>
<xsl:if test="not(/object/data/row)">
<xsl:value-of select="/object/securityacl"/>
<xsl:if test="not(/object/securityac1)">00000000</xsl:if>
</xsl:if>
It's worth a try,
Wendell

Try doing the same, such as boolean(/object/securityacl/text())
