<[Action]> do elements

The action elements define which action to execute for the current rule. If a <when> element is also defined, the actions will be executed only if all conditions are verified.

There are 4 different types of action elements:

  • <add> This action adds new attributes to the matching element in the XDD file. The attributes will be added only if they do not exist.
  • <set> This action changes the value of the attributes to the matching element in the XDD file. If the specified attributes do not exist they will be added.
  • <modify> This action changes the value of the attributes to the matching element in the XDD file. The attributes will be changed only if they exist.
  • <delete> This action removes an existing attribute to the matching element in the XDD file.
