XML namespaces problem

2005-11-30 02:48:39
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?

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.

Help!

The message in question is quite long, but takes the format:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<message xmlns="...">
  <m_control>
    ...
  </m_control>
  <m_content>
    <b_control>
      ...
    </b_control>

etc

thanks in advance,

Andrew Ballantine
