You do not need to do anything at that location,
"http:www.somthing.com/rule", But you need to tell XSLT
processor where the
<rule:something> comes from, otherwise XSLT processor
couldn't recognize
this element. That's why you need to declare it in the
<xsl:stylesheet>
element. In my understanding, An XSLT processor uses the namespace
declaration to bind the prefix "rule" with the namespace
"http:www.something.com/rule", and uses the namespace and local name
"Choose" to locate the <Choose> element in source XML
document. It doesn't
use the prefix and local name such as "rule:Choose" to locate
the element.
If you do not declare namespace, then XSLT processor cannot
resolve the
prefix "rule", therefore it cannot recognoze the element
"rule:Choose" in
source document. That's why it complains "xmlns:rule not
declared". Hope
this makes sense to you.

I think I tried it. But its worth giving it a try
again. Does
"http:www.somthing.com/rule"
have any significance. I mean do I really need to have
some thing at this location. I dont understand
namespaces well I think. So probably I am not
following what you are saying.
Thanks,
Abhi

Hi,
Did you declare the namespace for the prefix
"rule"? Try to include the
the namespace declaration
"xmlns:rule="http:www.somthing.com/rule" in the
<xsl:stylesheet> element like this,
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'
version='1.0'
xmlns:lang='en'
xmlns:saxon='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'
xmlns:rule="http:www.somthing.com/rule"
<xsl:template match="rule:Choose">
"THIS IS CHOOSE RULE"
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
It should work.

Subject: [xsl] how to process a element named
<rule:something>
Hi All,
I have an XML file which has bunch of rules in it
such
as
<rule:choose
xmlns:rule="http:www.somthing.com/rule">
SOME TEXT
</rule:choose>
I am writing a stylesheet and I am in debugging
process. I want to display something whenever the
element <rule:choose> appears in the XML document. I
dont want to display the actual contents of this
element but just some generated text such as "This
is
Choose rule" or something like this.
Is it possible to process such elements using XSL?
I tried something like this
<xsl:template match="rule:Choose">
"THIS IS CHOOSE RULE"
</xsl:template>
But I get an error saying xmlns:rule not declared.
What do I need to do? Is there any other way to
handle
such thing.
Thanks
