I have a newbie question. I've gone round and around on this issue and
haven't been able to make any headway on my own. I suspect I'm missing
some basic understanding of how to use XPath expressions and how
namespaces are used. so I apologize in advance if the question is a
stupid one.
I need to handle the following xml and generate new xml that makes
some changes to some of the attributes;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<box-client xmlns="somecompany.com/box/client"
xmlns:box="http://somecompany.com/box">
<name>theclient</name>
<description>theclient</description>
<network>
<box:host>host.somecompany.com</box:host>
<box:components>
<box:component>
<box:name>Ports</box:name>
<box:port>7801</box:port>
</box:component>
</box:components>
</network>
<logging>
<box:rotation-time>24</box:rotation-time>
<box:file-severity>info</box:file-severity>
</logging>
<use-connections>false</use-connections>
<work-managers>
<box:work-manager>
<box:name>WM</box:name>
<box:description>WM</box:description>
</box:work-manager>
<box:work-manager>
<box:name>ClientRuntime-WM</box:name>
<box:description>ClientRuntime-WM</box:description>
</box:work-manager>
</work-managers>
</box-client>
I inherited the above xml and am unable to change it so I have to
figure out how to process what I've got.
I need to create a new xml file with a changed value for the
box:rotation-time and I need to add a new
<box:manager>ClientConnections</box:manager> element.
If I understand things correctly, the above xml declares a
somecompany.com/box/client namespace and a http://somecompany.com/box
namespace. I believe that the items in thesomecompany.com/box/client
name space are defined in a client.xsd file and the box items are
defined in a box.xsd file. I don't know why a prefix wasn't used for
the first namespace but it wasn't.
I'm having trouble figuring what xslt/xpath to use to access the
box:rotation-time element and what xslt to use to add in a new
<box:work-manager> inside the <work-managers> element. I'm confused as
to which namesp
If I can figure out the correct namespace I think I can use a for-each
to iterate through the elements and replace the ones I need to replace
or add in the one I need to add it.
Thanks!
