xsl:copy-of copies nodes in the source tree to equivalent
nodes in the result tree, with the same name and namespace
(and the serializer will add declarations such as xmlns="" to make
sure that Element1 is still in no namespace, just as it was in
the source tree).
In order to change the namespace during the transform, you
can use an identity transform, modified to change the namespace
of each element. E.g.:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="*" priority="3">
<xsl:element name="{local-name()}" namespace="Something">
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()" />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Subject: [xsl] Adding namespace to an XML through XSL
Hi there -
I am having problems adding a namespace using an xsl
to an xml with no namespaces.
My sample xml looks like this
<MainElement>
<Element1>
<Element2>
<Element3>
:
:
</Element3>
</Element2>
</Element1>
</MainElement>
And I want to add a namespace to the <MainElement
xmlns="Something"> without any prefix.
I am doing the following in my xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns="Something">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0"
encoding="utf-8" indent="yes"
omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="MainElement">
<MainElement xmlns="Something">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</MainElement>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
But the problem is that <Element1> looks like this
<Element1 xmlns="">
Any ideas on how to get round this? I am not exactly
sure how to use "xsl:namespace-alias" for this or
whether that will help?
Thanks
Kanthi
