If you want the new elements to be in namespace "www.abc.org" when the
old elements were in no namespace, then you are modifying them rather
than copying them. To do this you can't use xsl:copy-of, you have to
walk the tree using xsl:apply-templates and a template rule that does
something like:
<xsl:template match="*" mode="change-namespace">
<xsl:element name="local-name()" namespace="www.abc.org">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

Subject: [xsl] Good old namespace problem(slightly different)!!
Hi all,
Could some one please help me.I checked up the list and some
websites but coudnt find a satisfactory solution.Here goes
the problem.... Pasting you the cut down simulated version...
I have a source xml like ...
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<strings>
<str>Parent</str>
</strings>
and another xml file(imported.xml)with structure as
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<imported-xml>
<child1>child1</child1>
<child2>child2</child2>
<child3>child3</child3>
<child4>child4</child4>
<child5>child5</child5>
</imported-xml>
and my XSl prints the imported xml structure
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml"/>
<xsl:variable name="imported-xml" select="document('imported.xml')"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<myheader xmlns="www.abc.org"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="www.abc.org/schema/mainschema.xsd"
supplier="My Company Ltd">
<xx>
<xsl:copy-of select="$imported-xml"/>
</xx>
</myheader >
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
And my result is ...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<myheader xsi:schemaLocation="www.abc.org/schema/mainschema.xsd"
supplier="My Company Ltd" xmlns="www.abc.org"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
<xx>
<imported-xml xmlns=""> <!-- attribute xmlns appears.. but
is unwanted -->
<child1>child1</child1>
<child2>child2</child2>
<child3>child3</child3>
<child4>child4</child4>
<child5>child5</child5>
</imported-xml>
</xx>
</myheader>
notice that there is an attribute xmlns = "" added to the
element <imported-xml> i dont want this to happen .. what i want is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<myheader xsi:schemaLocation="www.abc.org/schema/mainschema.xsd"
supplier="My Company Ltd" xmlns="www.abc.org"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
<xx>
<imported-xml> <!-- without that annoying xmlns attribute-->
<child1>child1</child1>
<child2>child2</child2>
<child3>child3</child3>
<child4>child4</child4>
<child5>child5</child5>
</imported-xml>
</xx>
</myheader>
Now i understand that this is because of the<myheader
xsi:schemaLocation="www.abc.org/schema/mainschema.xsd"
supplier="My Company Ltd" xmlns="www.abc.org"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
element with namespace declarations
So, to get rid of this, i enclosed them in CDATA section like...
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml"/>
<xsl:variable name="imported-xml" select="document('imported.xml')"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
<![CDATA[
<myheader xsi:schemaLocation="www.abc.org/schema/mainschema.xsd"
supplier="My Company Ltd" xmlns="www.abc.org"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
]]>
</xsl:text>
<xx>
<xsl:copy-of select="$imported-xml"/>
</xx>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
<![CDATA[</glf>]]>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This works fine with the result i want.. as in..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<myheader xsi:schemaLocation="www.abc.org/schema/mainschema.xsd"
supplier="My Company Ltd" xmlns="www.abc.org"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
<xx>
<imported-xml> <!-- without that annoying xmlns attribute-->
<child1>child1</child1>
<child2>child2</child2>
<child3>child3</child3>
<child4>child4</child4>
<child5>child5</child5>
</imported-xml>
</xx>
</myheader>
Dont know if this is an ugly way of doing this. could anyone
suggest me if i can do this without that cdata section?
Thanks
