RE: Transferring xmlns aliases to result tree.

Sure, here's the definition.

<wsdl:definitions targetNamespace="http://someurl/"; 
xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"; xmlns:impl="http://someurl/";>

So, the problem is that someType is defined within the WSDL document as

<complexType name="someType">
</complexType>

so it ends up being defined in targetNamespace, which is equivalent to the impl 
namespace. This type is later used by the line I gave before.

<element name="someElement" type="impl:someType"/>

and is referred to as impl:someType. What I meant when I said "appears as text" 
is that "impl" is only used withing the txt value of the type attribute. It's 
never explicitly used in the name of an element or the name of an attribute. 
Hence, it is never evaluated by the xslt engine, and the namespace alias is not 
copied into the result tree.

I have tried the following.

<xsl:for-each select="namespace::*">
        <xsl:copy/>
</xsl:for-each>

But, it does not work very well, since the attribute will be copied over as 
'impl="http://someurl/";' and not as 'xmlns:impl="http://someurl/";'.

I am having trouble transferring the xml namespace aliases 
from a source tree to the result tree. Specifically I would 
like to transfer some aliases that are used only within the 
value of an attribute.

<element name="someElement" type="impl:someType"/>

I have a mapping at the top of the document for impl, but 
it's not used anywhere else except the type attribute. Is 
there a way to force this mapping to appear in the result 
tree? It does not seem to be transferred. I assume it's 
because it appears as text.

What do you mean, it appears as text?

Can you show us your declaration of the "impl" prefix
at the top of the document?

Lars
