Hi,

Inside my xsl file, part of my stylesheet declaration contains the following namespace: "xmlns:UML="omg.org/UML13". The transformation of the input xml file works fine, but when I try to validate the output file (which is also xml), I get that "omg.org/UML13" is an illegal URI, which is true. I found the proper declaration for the UML namespace as being: "xmlns:UML="http://schema.omg.org/spec/UML/1.3/". But with this namespace, the transformation does not work, in the sense that there is almost no output written in my xml file (my xsl:apply-templates are never matched). Any idea why this happens?

I am using Saxon-B 9.1, XSLT 1.0 and XPath 2.0.

Thanks for any help!

Michael

My guess would be that your input XML file is using the wrong namespace.

Can you show us the relevant code? It is hard to tell what goes wrong without seeing that.
If you have input elements in the namespace omg.org/UML13 then your stylesheet needs to match on that namespace obviously. You could then transform the elements to the other namespace you want.

I was just about to write that I found the problem, which is exactly what you mentioned, namely my input xml file was using the wrong namespace.

Thank you!
