You need to extract the embedded XML document as text and parse it. With
Saxon you can do this using saxon:parse(). With other processors you may be
able to call an extension function.

Subject: [xsl] Xml file in an Xml file
Hello everyone.
Using web services I am getting the following XML file
returned to me.
<S:Envelope
xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:XS="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

What I would like to do is "yank out" the second Xml file
that is contained at
S:Envelope/S:body/a:GetWeatherResponse/a:GetWeatherResult.
I tried the following Xslt code using the latest Altova engine
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:XS="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:XI="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:a="http://www.webserviceX.NET">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<NewRoot>
<xsl:value-of
select="/S:Envelope/S:Body/a:GetWeatherResponse/a:GetWeatherResult"/>
</NewRoot>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
What I get back is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<NewRoot xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:XI="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:XS="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:a="http://www.webserviceX.NET"><?xml version="1.0"
encoding="utf-16"?> <CurrentWeather>
<Location>Montreal / Pierre Elliot Trudeau
International Airport, Que, Canada (CYUL) 45-28N 073-45W
36M</Location>
<Time>Apr 04, 2007 - 11:00 AM EDT / 2007.04.04 1500
UTC</Time>
<Wind> from the ESE (120 degrees) at 15 MPH (13 KT)
gusting to 28 MPH (24 KT):0</Wind>
<Visibility> 6 mile(s):0</Visibility>
<SkyConditions> overcast</SkyConditions>
<Temperature> 37 F (3 C)</Temperature>
<DewPoint> 33 F (1 C)</DewPoint>
<RelativeHumidity> 86%</RelativeHumidity>
<Pressure> 29.79 in. Hg (1008 hPa)</Pressure>
<Status>Success</Status>
</CurrentWeather></NewRoot>
What I would actually like to be returned is a true XML
file where I could access all the nodes using Xpath, not a
"parsed out" version of the file.
For example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<NewRoot>
<CurrentWeather>
<Location>Montreal / Pierre Elliot Trudeau International
Airport, Que, Canada (CYUL) 45-28N 073-45W 36M</Location>
<Time>Apr 04, 2007 - 11:00 AM EDT / 2007.04.04 1500 UTC</Time>
<Wind>from the ESE (120 degrees) at 15 MPH (13 KT) gusting
to 28 MPH (24 KT):0</Wind>
<Visibility>6 mile(s):0</Visibility>
<SkyConditions>overcast</SkyConditions>
<Temperature>37 F (3 C)</Temperature>
<DewPoint>33 F (1 C)</DewPoint>
<RelativeHumidity>86%</RelativeHumidity>
<Pressure>29.79 in. Hg (1008 hPa)</Pressure>
<Status>Success</Status>
</CurrentWeather>
</NewRoot>
There are a few differences that I would also like, I don't
need the namespace declarations. Is there anyway to do this
using xslt or am I dreaming?
Thanks in advance.
