I'm working on transforming an xml file into something I can use in tiles. I seem to have hit a wall.

Here is my xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<page>
<header>test</header>
</page>

Here is my xsl:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet exclude-result-prefixes="tiles xalan java xsl" version="1.0"
xmlnsalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan"
xmlnssl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:tiles="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld"
xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/xslt/java">

<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes" method="html" media-type="text/html" standalone="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/" >
<tiles:insert>
<xsl:attribute name="definition">2col</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="flush">true</xsl:attribute>


<xsl:apply-templates select="page" />

</tiles:insert>
</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="page">
<tilesut name="mainBody">
<h1>
<xsl:value-of select="header" />
</h1>

</tilesut>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Here is the result:

<tiles:insert definition="2col" flush="true" xmlns:tiles="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld">
<tilesut name="mainBody"><h1>test</h1>
</tilesut>
</tiles:insert>

I would expect:
<tiles:insert definition="2col" flush="true">
<tilesut name="mainBody"><h1>test</h1>
</tilesut>
</tiles:insert>

Any ideas on how to remove xmlns:tiles="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld"?

Your desired output is not well-formed XML: it contains a namespace prefix "tiles" that has not been declared. XSLT never creates ill-formed XML, if you really want this you will need a different tool.

Why have you declared the output method as HTML when you are not generating HTML?

Hi Michael,

I'm trying to generate jsp tiles (think struts/tiles). I think I'm going to try doing this using jsp's xml syntax. That might help clear up my problems.

Thanks for the reply.
