Purpose of default-value, value attribute of set-calender tag

I have to do some thing like

<if-not-empty field="parameters.disableForYear">
<set-calendar field="disabledDateTime" from-field="nowTimeStamp"
years="${parameters.disableForYear}"/>
<else>
<set-calendar field="disabledDateTime" from-field="nowTimeStamp"
years="20"/>
</else>
</if-not-empty>

I was wondering if above code could be replaced by some thing (using
default-value or value attribute)
<set-calendar field="disabledDateTime" from-field="nowTimeStamp"
years="${parameters.disableForYear}" default-value="20"/>

But doing so I am getting an exception.
What is the way to perform this operation in <set-calender> tag.

Would appreciate any pointers.

Thanks,
Vikas

Sorry, I was just asking about default-value attribute behavior in
<set-calender>

Re: Purpose of default-value, value attribute of set-calender tag

Vikas,

The default value is used if from-field is null instead of setting the
default value for the years.
Here are the details from XSD file :-

<xs:element name="set-calendar" substitutionGroup="OtherOperations">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>
The set-calendar tag allows to set a date "field" from
another "from-field" date field type
or directly from a value using at least one adjuster to
modify the from-field date.
The type of fields or value is Timestamp.

Again you can use the flexible string expander here, the ${}
syntax and such. It can also do a type conversion,
so going from whatever type the source data is in, which
would be a string value or whatever the variable
type is for a from field, it can convert that to any ofthese
types before setting it in the target field.

You can also specify a default value in the case that the
value evaluates to an empty string or the from-field is
null or empty. Then the default-value will be used.

Adjuster years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds and
millis use integers optionally precedeed by + or -
Period-align-start and period-align-end allows to align on
end or start of a period.

You may specify a locale or a time-zone else the respective
default request value is used.
</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attributeGroup ref="attlist.set-calendar"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

<set field="disableForYear" from-field="parameters.disableForYear" default-value="20"/>
<set-calendar field="disabledDateTime" from-field="nowTimeStamp" years="${disableForYear}"/>

In reply to this post by Adrian Crum-2

Thanks Adrian - It looks fine and I will test this soon.

But this is more of a alternative solution. I mean what about the usage of
default-value attribute on <set-calender>. Is it here for a purpose and if
yes
is this similar to default-value used used in <set> tag.
