Hi all,
 I am having a problem while trying to match root element which has
namespace declaration.
 here is the test snippet i am trying ..


Input XML is:
-------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Test xmlns="http://www.foo.com/namespace/v1";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.foo.com/namespace/v1
C:\schema\definition.xsd">
        <People>
                <Person>
                        <FName>fname1</FName>
                        <LName>lname1</LName>
                </Person>
                <Person>
                        <FName>fname3</FName>
                        <LName>lname3</LName>
                </Person>
        </People>
</Test>



Input XSL is:
---------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="/">
        <Members>
                <xsl:apply-templates select="Test/People"/>
        </Members>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="People">
        <xsl:for-each select="Person">
                <Member><xsl:value-of
select="concat(substring(LName,1,1),'.',FName)"/></Member>
        </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


Output of above transformation results:
---------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Members/>


And if remove the namespace declaration from my input xml it works fine.

So is that namespace declaration not allowed or is there any magic
property i need to set in XSL to ignore namespace declarations?

thanks in advance
Venkat
