Filtering on Date Fields in an XCBR

Hi,

I am trying to use an XCBR to filter messages that are not for 'today'. However, I am finding that although my XPATH expression evaluates correctly in Sonic Workbench using the XPath Expression Evaluator [and in another third party tool], the expression does not work correctly when deployed to a container. Note that the XCBR evaluates other expressions correctly.

The XPath Expression ...

     substring-before(string(/File/Proceeding/Event/@scheduleddatetime), 'T') != substring-before(string(current-date()), '+')

          I.e. if @scheduleddatetime isn't today the expression will evaluate to true. HOWEVER, this appears to be always evaluating to true when deployed since messages always go to the asl.Exit endpoint (see XCBR extract below)

          Corresponding XCBR File Extract:

          <RoutingRule xmlns="*">

          <Description/>

          <DistinctRule>

          <Type>XPath</Type>

          <Arguments>

          <Argument name="expression">substring-before(string(/File/Proceeding/Event/@scheduleddatetime), 'T') != substring-before(string(current-date()), '+')</Argument>

          <Argument name="messagePartID">StanJamesFeed</Argument>

          </Arguments>

          </DistinctRule>

          <Destinations>

          <Destination type="ENDPOINT">

          <Name>asl.Exit</Name>

          </Destination>

          </Destinations>

          </RoutingRule>

Example message part extract ...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<!--  Book master document -->

<File>

     <Proceeding>

          <Event scheduleddatetime="2009-08-07T17:30:00" status="On">

               ...

NOTE that the following XPATH expression in the XCBR file works ok:

     /File/Proceeding/Event/@status != 'On'

     Corrsponding XCBR Extract:

          <RoutingRule xmlns="*">

          <Description/>

          <DistinctRule>

          <Type>XPath</Type>

          <Arguments>

          <Argument name="expression">/File/Proceeding/Event/@status != 'On'</Argument>

          <Argument name="messagePartID">StanJamesFeed</Argument>

          </Arguments>

          </DistinctRule>

          <Destinations>

          <Destination type="ENDPOINT">

          <Name>asl.Exit</Name>

          </Destination>

          </Destinations>

          </RoutingRule>

Many thanks for any help.
