XSLT: I don't get the xmlns in target

[Rosa Mª Gómez Flores]

Hallo!

I don't understand exactly what is the 'xmlns' attribute, nor why it have problems with the xmlns attribute of the sylesheet, but I need it in my output XML file. Could anybody tell me how to transform this input:

<ROOT-ELEMENT>
<SOHN>...</SOHN>
</ROOT-ELEMENT>

in this output:

<ROOT-ELEMENT xmlns="http://www.whatever">
<SOHN>...</SOHN>
</ROOT-ELEMENT>

Thanks a lot of,

Rgf

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/ROOT-ELEMENT"> <xsl:element name="ROOT-ELEMENT" namespace="http://www.whatever"> <xsl:copy-of select="./*"/> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>

This is not the correct solution -- the copied nodes will not belong to the namespace of ROOT-ELEMENT.

You might want to find out more before blindly pressing ahead, but this copies a document, placing all elements in the http://www.whatever namespace:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:element name="{local-name}" namespace="http://www.whatever"> <xsl:apply-templates select="node|@*"/> </xsl:element> </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@*|comment|processing-instruction|text"> <xsl:copy/> </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Here's a better one:

<xs:stylesheet xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsutput method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/> <xs:template match="*" priority="1.0"> <xs:element name="{name(.)}" namespace="http://example.com"> <xs:apply-templates select="@*|node"/> </xs:element> </xs:template> <xs:template match="@*|node"> <xs:copy> <xs:apply-templates select="@*|node"/> </xs:copy> </xs:template> </xs:stylesheet>

Here's a better one:

Yes, I already provided exactly the same in microsoft.public.xsl -- as I pointed to Rosa, no one would reply to her identical messages in 3 forums.

In microsoft.public.xml Marrow posted a slightly better one -- the default namespace is declared on the xsl:stylesheet element and does not need to be specified on the xsl:element instructions.

I don't know how to do that. What does it look like?
