Name space in XSLT

Question

Below is the example file

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<Document xmlns='urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.002.001.02' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'&gt;  
<pain.002.001.02>
------------
-------------
-------------

</pain.002.001.02>
</Document> 

Below is the XSLT Transformation code :

<xsl:transform version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl"
  xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"&gt;

<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

<xsl:template match="/">


<asx:abap version="1.0">

when i exclude the following string(in the Document tag) from the XML file i am able to transform.

'xmlns='urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.002.001.02' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'> 

but when i include the same string my XSLT transformation. it is not working.

Please do the needful.

Thanks and Regards, Kiran.

Answer 1

Add your xml document namespace in your xsl declaration

<xsl:transform version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl"
  xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xmlns:doc='urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.002.001.02'
>

and refer to your nodes by the prefix doc:. E.g:

<xsl:for-each select="doc:pain.002.001.02">

EDIT For your problem try:

<xsl:for-each select="doc:Document/doc:pain.002.001.02">

Answer 2

This is a FAQ. XPath treats unprefixed element names as belonging to "no namespace".

Whenever an XML document has a default namespace, the only way to refer to elements by name is to refer to them as prefixed, where the prefix is bound to the default namespace.

This means:

1. Associate a prefix (say "xxx") to the document's default namespace.

2. In any XPath expression or match pattern replace every element name by the corresponding preffixed name. For example, replace /a/b/c/d with /xxx:a/xxx:b/xxx:c/xxx:d

After following strictly the above two rules the modified stylesheet behaves as wanted: in the same way as the original stylesheet applied on an XML document that has no default namespace.
