I don't know what XSLT processor you're using, but the output I'm seeing
from Saxon (which I believe is correct) starts:
<sequence xmlns:ads="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ads/2003/sequence";
version="1" description="foo" command="bar">
<sequence version="1" description="Image" command="WIN2000">
<task xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ads/2003/sequence";>
The first <sequence> element is generated from a literal result element in
your stylesheet. It is in no namespace because the stylesheet doesn't put it
in a namespace. It copies the declaration of xmlns:ads from the stylesheet
because that's what literal result elements do.
The second <sequence> element is the same, but it doesn't redeclare
xmlns:ads because that would be redundant.
The <task> element is generated by copying from the source document. The
element is in the ads/2003 namespace because it stays in the same namespace
when you copy it. The original <task> element has an in-scope namespace with
prefix "" and uri "http://....ads/2003/...";, so the copied element has one
too.
I think, if I understand your problem description, that you probably want to
write <xsl:copy> where you currently write <sequence>. That way you will get
the namespaces that are in scope for the source element, not those that are
in scope in the stylesheet.
You made a lot of headway in four hours...

Subject: [xsl] RE: unwanted and non prefix namespaces in output
I am very new to xslt (approx 4 hours) but I have managed to
(mostly) do
the simple task I am trying to perform.
I am attempting to take an xml file in this format (greatly shortened
for simplicity):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<sequence version="1" description="foo" command="bar"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ads/2003/sequence";>
<sequence version="1" description="Image" command="WIN2000"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ads/2003/sequence";>
<task>
<command>foo</command>
<parameters>
<parameter>bar</parameter>
</parameters>
</task>
<task>
...
</task
</sequence>
<sequence version="1" description="Patch" command="WIN2000"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ads/2003/sequence";>
<task>
<command>foo</command>
<parameters>
<parameter>bar</parameter>
</parameters>
</task>
<task>
...
</task
</sequence>
<sequence version="1" description="Patch" command="WIN2K3"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ads/2003/sequence";>
<task>
<command>foo</command>
<parameters>
<parameter>bar</parameter>
</parameters>
</task>
<task>
...
</task
</sequence>
<sequence version="1" description="foo" command="bar"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ads/2003/sequence";>
...
</sequence>
...
</sequence>
And apply this XSL:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ads/2003/sequence";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:variable name="osName"
select="ads:sequence/ads:sequence/@command"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="ads:sequence"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ads:sequence">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="(@description='Patch')">
<xsl:if test="@command=$osName">
<sequence>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</sequence>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<sequence>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</sequence>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Basically I'm trying to fetch the OS Name from the command
attribute of
the second sequence (fixed location) Then the if OS matches
the command
attribute for the sequence with a description of 'Patch',
copy it over.
Also copy over everything else that isn't a Patch sequence. So
basically my output should be identical to my input minus the Patch
sequence where the OS does not match. My problem enlies that every
'task ' element has the namespace added to it but the sequence element
does not.
..sample output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<sequence version="1" description="foo" command="bar">
<sequence version="1" description="Image" command="WIN2000">
<task xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ads/2003/sequence";>
<command>foo</command>
<parameters>
<parameter>bar</parameter>
</parameters>
</task>
The exclude-result-prefixes="ads" squashed my namespace on the root
sequence element (which I don't want). I need the namespace
to only be
defined on all sequence blocks. Just like the input. The
logic part of
not copying over the block I do not need does work. It's probably not
the best way, but it is functional. Forgive me if I did not use the
correct XSL grammar while trying to explain my problem.
Anybody have an idea of a direction I should look in for a solution?
Thanks in advance,
--Joel
