RE: x-schema in source xml causing no matches...

You need to stop XML Spy from trying to validate your stylesheet against a
schema. I don't know the product well enough to know why it is trying to do
this, but it's this that is causing the trouble. 

After adding the namespace declaration to your stylesheet, you need to refer
to the dt_application element as src:dt_application.

Subject: [xsl] x-schema in source xml causing no matches...

Hi list,

The xml I am trying to transform has an xmlns declaration that has
"x-schema:" in it, as shown below.  When I try to transform 
it, I don't
match on any of the elements that are within that 
"x-schema:..." namespace.

I tried fixing this by adding
xmlns:src="x-schema:http://www.qa.dealertrack.com/schemas/dtap
p_v2_0.xdr" to
the stylesheet, but when I do this xml spy complains that my 
xslt is no
longer valid.  Specifically, it tells me "This file is not valid: Root
element of document 'filename.xslt' is either not defined in 
DTD/Schema
document or part of the wrong Namespace".

See below for the xml and xslt that shows this problem:

The xml my customer sends looks something like this 
(abbreviated version):

<root>
    <Scorex_Header>
        <Call_Number>4</Call_Number>
    </Scorex_Header>
    <dt_application active="yes" status="new" dtversion="2.0"
xmlns="x-schema:http://www.qa.dealertrack.com/schemas/dtapp_v2_0.xdr";>
        <key_data optout="no">
            <dt_lender_id>ETR</dt_lender_id>
        </key_data>
    </dt_application>
</root>

My XSLT looks like this (abbreviated):

<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="root">
        <root>
            <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </root>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="dt_application" name="dtApplication">
        <dt_application>
            <xsl:element name="active">
                <xsl:value-of select="@active"/>
            </xsl:element>
                <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </dt_application>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Assume that the given dt_application section of the input xml 
really is
valid according to the dtapp_v2_0.xdr...it isn't in the samples above
because I abbreviated the xml for purposes of making the 
email look cleaner.

Somehow, when the xml fragment doesn't match the xdr the xslt 
engine ignores
the namespace, and my xslt works completely, but in the true 
xml I receive
the dt_application section DOES match the xdr, and so my xslt 
doesn't match
on any of the elements within the dt_application section.

Thanks for any help!
