Hi there,
I am having a problem with XML namespaces being present on a message that I am
attempting to transform.
The namespace xlmns="..." (actual namespace removed but it is a valid url - no
actual data there though) in the first element is causing XSL to fail to be
able to transform the message properly. With this removed, it works fine, but
with it present, it does not. Is there any way I can get XSL to disregard the
namespace or otherwise work around this problem, without pre-transforming
using another XSL file?
is this namespace defined in your XSLT as well ? if not your selects,
xpath etc...most likely wont return anything because XSLT cant address
the
elements/attributes....http://www.rpbourret.com/xml/NamespacesFAQ.htm is
always a good starting point to understand namespaces.
when u say 'fail to transform'....whats the error message (and what XSLT
processor u using?).
Also interestingly enough, if the namespace is prefixed (i.e. takes the form
xmlns:prefix="..."), then I can "avoid" the problem by using relative paths
from the following element. However, in this case the namespace is not
prefixed and is causing the XSL to fail to transform the message properly.
a short xml and xslt representative example would probably let us help u
more.
