this one really has stumped me. I am trying to to do a simple XML to XML
transformation in which I'm only inserting two paths, but they do not
appear.
This is a FAQ.
Unfortunately, I absolutely cannot change the input XML since this
is a format for a so-called job file that the Helix Producer ActiveX control
expects.
And it is using a namespace for its vocabulary.
I have the following simple XSL:
...
<xsl:template match="/job/inputs/input/filename" >
And you are not using namespace-qualified names in your match patterns.
The unchangable XML is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<job xmlns="http://ns.real.com/tools/job.2.0";
Which means the elements you are checking for start at:
{http://ns.real.com/tools/job.2.0}job
So you will have to ensure all of your names are qualified:
...
xmlns:j="http://ns.real.com/tools/job.2.0";
...
<xsl:template match="/j:job/j:inputs/j:input/j:filename" >
XPath 1.0 never uses the default namespace.
I hope this helps.
