I have an XML file which I process with an XSL stylesheet to
create another XSL stylesheet included by other XSL
stylesheets. This was working until I decided to change our
XML files to be within a namespace to avoid possible future
maintenance/integration issues. When I made this change, a
namespace started showing up on an HTML tag which was being
copied from the XML file to the generated XSL file: <html:br\>
became <html:br xmlns="http://fedex.com/gnsl"/>.
Outside of eliminating my use of the default namespace in my
source XML file, I have discovered no way to circumvent the
inclusion of this unwanted "xmlns" attribute. I am using the
XalanC++ 'Xalan' and 'testXSLT' XSL processors.
The source XML file has the following (truncated) content:
<TagLabels xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns="http://fedex.com/gnsl" >
<Tag name="GNSL_LOCATION_TYPE_CD">LOC<html:br/>TYPE</Tag>
</TagLabels>
The XSL stylesheet declaration and the templates which output
the offending statement follow:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:gnsl="http://fedex.com/gnsl"
exclude-result-prefixes="gnsl html" >
<!--stuff excluded-->
<xsl:template match="/gnsl:TagLabels" mode="BuildVariables" >
<xsl:apply-templates select="gnsl:Tag"
mode="BuildVariables">
<xsl:sort select="@name" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="gnsl:Tag" mode="BuildVariables" >
<xsl:element name="xsl:variable">
<xsl:attribute name="name">
<xsl:value-of select="@name" />
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:copy-of select="*|@*|text()" />
</xsl:element>
<xsl:copy-of select="$LineBreak" />
</xsl:template>
<!--stuff excluded-->
</xsl:stylesheet>
Thanks for any assistenace which can be provided.
