Hi all!

What's the most effective way of changing the namespace of a node when copying it? Here's a simple example:


<ns1:root xmlns:ns1="http://www.someUrl.com/ns1">
  <ns1:element>element to be imported</ns1:element>
</ns1:root>


<abc:result xmlns:abc="http://www.myUrl.org/elements">
  <abc:element>element to be imported</abc:element>
</abc:result>


<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:ns1="http://www.someUrl.com/ns1" xmlns:abc="http://www.myUrl.org/elements" exclude-result-prefixes="ns1">
 <xsl:template match="/">
  <abc:result>

   <xsl:copy-of select="//ns1:element[1]"/>
  </abc:result>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

This example is quite simple, but in my case, the element to be copied is several levels deep, all of it's descendants are in the same source namespace and have to be converted to the result namespace.

Thanks,

Rushman

<xsl:template match="node()">
   <xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template mach="@*">
   <xsl:atribute name="{local-name()}"/>
</xsl:attribute>


You can then either set the default namspace on the stylesheet element (xsmlns="http://whatever"), add the namespace attribute to the xsl:element and xsl:attribute instructons, or even add a custom declared prefix to the name attribute (name="ns0:{local-name()}")

Thanks Sam for your quick reply. I guess I'm gonna use the name="abc:{local-name()}" approach.
