Remove root namespace help?

JohnBampton · March 6th, 2009, 06:23 AM

How do I remove the p prefix from the input document so that it doesn't occur in the output document? I tried exclude-result-prefixes="p" but that only removes it from the root element

Input xml

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<p:MyReq 
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
    xmlns:_02="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:something" 
    xmlns:p="http://somecompany/MyXSD">

  <RqUID>as</RqUID>
  <MsgRqHdr>
    <SomeInfo>
      <SomeOwner>Other</SomeOwner>
    </SomeInfo>
  </MsgRqHdr>
  <something>
    <_02:GrpHdr>
      <_02:MsgId>123456</_02:MsgId>
      <_02:NbOfTx>1</_02:NbOfTx>
    </_02:GrpHdr>
  </something>
</p:MyReq>

output xml

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MyReq 
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
    xmlns:_02="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:something" 

  <RqUID>as</RqUID>
  <MsgRqHdr>
    <SomeInfo>
      <SomeOwner>Other</SomeOwner>
    </SomeInfo>
  </MsgRqHdr>
  <something>
    <_02:GrpHdr>
      <_02:MsgId>123456</_02:MsgId>
      <_02:NbOfTx>1</_02:NbOfTx>
    </_02:GrpHdr>
  </something>
</MyReq>

XSL attempt which is not finished

Code:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:p="http://somecompany/MyXSD"
      exclude-result-prefixes="xs p"  
      version="2.0">
    
    <xsl:template match="p:MyReq">
        <MyReq xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xmlns:_02="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:something">
            <xsl:apply-templates select="RqUID"></xsl:apply-templates>
            
        </MyReq>
    </xsl:template>
    
    <xsl:template match="RqUID" >
        <xsl:copy-of select="."></xsl:copy-of>
    </xsl:template>
       
</xsl:stylesheet>

In XSLT 2.0, both xsl:copy and xsl:copy-of have an attribute copy-namespaces="no" which causes all "unused" namespaces to be dropped - that is, namespaces which are not used in the name of the element being copied, or in any of its attributes. This is probably sufficient to meet your requirement.

exclude-result-prefixes only affects namespaces declared in the stylesheet, not those copied from a source document.
