Adding multiple namespaces to root element

Neal · December 3rd, 2019, 01:28 PM

Hi,

version 1.0

I have a requirement to output a root element that contains 2 namespaces. Neither of the namespaces are contained within the input xml. The desired output is :

Code:

<Document xmlns="example:01test:02" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Level1>
.... 
</Level1>
</Document>

How do I achieve this ?

If I select

Code:

 
<xsl:template match="/">
<Document xmlns="example:01test:02" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

<Level1>
.... 
</Level1>
</Document>
</xsl:template>

Then just the following is output :

Code:

<Document xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.001.001.03">

Thanks in advance

Your code looks perfectly correct to me.

That probably means the bug is in the part of the code that you haven't shown us... Please give a complete runnable repro, and say which XSLT processor you are using.

Thanks Michael,
I'm using XMLSpy 2017 Professional. I hope I understand your reply. Here is the xslt code including referenced namespaces.

Code:

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xsi:schemaLocation="" xmlns:env="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dynamic...uments/Message" xmlns:mp="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dynamic...uments/Message" xmlns:ns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.001.001.02" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:date="http://exslt.org/dates-and-times"
exclude-result-prefixes="xsl env mp ns xsi date">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<Document xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.001.001.02" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Level1>
.... 
</Level1>
</Document>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The desired output expected is:

Code:

<Document xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.001.001.02" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Level1>
.... 
</Level1>
</Document>

I don't know where the namespace xmlns="example:01test:02" is supposed to come from. Your stylesheet outputs the namespace xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.001.001 .02" as one would expect.

The xsi namespace isn't output because it is listed in exclude-result-prefixes. Perhaps this is the bug - as I suggested, it's in the part of the stylesheet that was omitted from your original post.
