RE: exclude-result-prefixes issue

2004-05-26 16:13:44

I am having a small problem with prefixes.  I am trying to 
build a soap
envelope and am having trouble eliminating namespaces for 
elements that
include a prefix.

I have a very simple stylesheet seen below:

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version = "1.0" xmlns:SOAP-ENV =
"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope"; exclude-result-prefixes =
"SOAP-ENV">
      <xsl:template match = "/">
              <xsl:element name = "SOAP-ENV:Envelope">
                      <xsl:element name = "SOAP-ENV:Body"/>
              </xsl:element>
      </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

exclude-result-prefixes only affects literal result elements. Your
stylesheet doesn't contain any literal result elements, so it has no effect.

The current output is:

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV =
"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope";>
      <SOAP-ENV:Body/>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

I would like the output to be

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
      <SOAP-ENV:Body/>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>


That is not a namespace-well-formed XML document, so it cannot be produced
using XSLT.
