    Description: The example rule checks every transaction amount in the message and if the number of instances is two, true will be returned. The size method returns the size of the set returned by the allInstances method. 

     

    The XML snippet below would pass this check.

      </Transaction>
    </Message>

    The other snippet below however would not pass this check. (Only one transaction therefor only one amount)

        <NumberOfTransactions>1</NumberOfTransactions>
      </Header>
      <Transaction>
        <Id>TransactionId1</Id>
        <Amount>29</Amount>
        <Debtor>

        <Creditor>
          <Name>Creditor1</Name>
