Maybe it's only a whitespace problem and you have to use

test="normalize-space(para) = 'CSE'"

hi there, yeah, of course that was what the earlier code was & that was working
fine. And now i have to modify that in order to display "Computer Science"
in place of "CSE".
hope this makes clear,

hi all,
i m generating pdf by querying database using esql. here for a
particular value got from database table, i have to display some particular information. the xsp code contains:
----------- <perosn>
<esql:execute-query>
<esql:query>select * from person</esql:query>
<esql:results>
<esql:row-results>



<!--other codes-->


<para>
 <esql:get-string column="branch"/>
</para>

<!--other codes-->

</person>
-----------

while the xsl-fo file contains:
------------

<xsl:template match="person">

<!--other codes-->

 <xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="self::node()[para='CSE']">

Can be simplified to test="para = 'CSE'".



        <fo:block font-size="13pt" font-family="serif">Computer Science
        </fo:block>
  </xsl:when>
 </xsl:choose>

</xsl:template>
----------------

In other words, i have to simply display "Computer Science" when the
value under 'para' node (queried from "branch" field in the database
table) equals "CSE".

But the output displays nothing....
This is a simple task, i suppose, & may be various methods to do this, but
this one is not working.
plz help me how can i do it.

Are you sure that the output from the database is as you expect it above in the stylesheet? Try to remove the xsl:choose/xsl:when and simply add


<fo:block><xsl:value-of select="para"/></fo:block>
