For reasons which I won't bore you with, we have an input XML format of
the style:
customer1.xml: <order xmlns:pt="urn:ex"> <foo name="pt:zip"> apple </foo> <foo name="pt:zap"> orange </foo> </order> customer2.xml: <order xmlns:go="urn:ex"> <foo name="go:zip"> pear </foo> <foo name="go:zap"> banana </foo> </order> We want a single XSLT which will handle these without a priori knowledge of the QNames or namespace *inside* the @name attribute. We need to transform these into: customer1-out-desired.xml: <output xmlns:pt="urn:ex"> <pt:zip> apple </pt:zip> <pt:zap> orange </pt:zap> </output> customer2-out-desired.xml: <output xmlns:go="urn:ex"> <go:zip> pear </go:zip> <go:zap> banana </go:zap> </output> After a long struggle, I've managed some hacky XSLT which manages the namespace mapping from strings and NS declarations to prefixed QName elements, however I end up getting the xmlns:pt="urn:ex" element on *every* leaf element (e.g. <go:zip xmlns:go="urn:ex">), rather than just once on the document element as I would like it:
customer2-out-actual.xml: <output> <go:zip xmlns:go="urn:ex"> pear </go:zip> <go:zap xmlns:go="urn:ex"> banana </go:zap> </output> Does anyone know of any tricks to avoid this situation? Cheers, Ian PS - The relevant XSLT snippet I've written is: <xsl:template match="foo">
<xsl:element name="{substring-after(@name,':')}"
namespace="{namespace-uri-for-prefix(substring-before(@name,':'),.)}">
<xsl:value-of select=".">
</xsl:element>
