I would like to change the URL in the XML tag <... xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://xxx.xxx>
into
<... xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://yyy.yyy>
The change of an XML attribute is somewhat trivial - but in this case
functions the following piece of code not:
<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
<xsl:copy>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="@xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation">
  <xsl:attribute name="{name()}">yyy.yyy</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

Any hints ?
Thanks in advance !

The code looks fine to me. I suggest you supply a complete stylesheet, a complete source document, and a copy of the output you are getting. (And for good measure, tell us which processor was used).

Michael,
thanks for the quick reply.
I test the XSLT by means of the Altove XML Spy (Version 2004) under Win-XP. The parser is also the MS XML Parser.
The error message: "This file is not valid. Invalid prefixError in XPath expression, invalid prefix".
The line in error: <xsl:template match="@xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation">
And here the complete first tag:
<common xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://mydomain/eu/j2ee/entwicklungsprozess/configuration/documents/schemas/common.xsd">

You need to include the declaration

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance"

in the stylesheet if it uses the xsi: prefix.

P.S. I'm guessing that's what you did wrong, I can only guess, because you didn't submit a complete stylesheet as I asked you to.

Michael,
sorry, but I can't send the whole stylesheet while a)it's too large and b)it has confidential informations.
But in the tag I've sent - here once again:

<common xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://mydomain/eu/j2ee/entwicklungsprozess/configuration/documents/schemas/common.xsd">

...I have the declaration as You meant already included. I think the parser sees xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation not as a 'normal' attribute. The same coding above functions without any problem for other attributes...

I assumed that the <common> element was part of the source document, not part of the stylesheet.

If you have the namespace declared in the stylesheet then I guessed wrong, but you can't expect people to debug your code if you keep it secret.

Michael,
I've overlooked the fact, You suggested the declaration for the stylesheet and not for the source...
It works with the daclaration in the stylesheet now very well !
Sorry for the incoveniencies and thanks again.

Cheers
