RE: Namespace related question

2003-07-13 01:36:10
I am a novice and struggling for last few days to get the solution.

here is sample xml document, I want to read the value of 
attribute xmlns.Res 
using XSL stylesheet 

<PT xmlns.Res="PT_MSG"> 
....
</PT>

I assume you mean xmlns:Res="PT_MSG"? (":" not ".")?

Namespace declarations are not attributes in the XPath data model. A
namespace declaration in your source document translates into a
namespace node in the data model, and must be read using the namespace
axis rather than the attribute axis. So you can access it as
namespace::Res.

But it would be nicer to show us the whole problem you are tackling:
people will probably have comments at the design level. Explicit access
to namespace nodes is not a common requirement and I wouldn't normally
expect a novice to need to do it. There is probably an easier way of
solving your problem.

here's my stylesheet
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet  version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" />

              <xsl:template match="HFPT" 
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace";> 
              <xsl:copy-of select="@xmlns:Res" />
              </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I tried <xsl:copy-of select="@xmlns:Res" />, I got error 
message - "Namespace prefix xmlns has not been declared".

So how can I do it in XSL ?

Any solution will be appreciated.

Thanks
