Re: [xsl] @xmlns retrieving value of

[George Cristian Bina <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mario,

The document you want as output has the para element with an undeclared 
namespace as the anElem prefix is not bound. Probably what you want is

<anElem:para 
xmlns:anElem="http://www.namespace.com/namespaces/anElem";>this is a test
        to retrieve the namespace uri and name.</anElem:para>
?

In that case you can use something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<x:stylesheet xmlns:x="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="2.0">
  <x:template match="root">
    <newDoc>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </newDoc>
  </x:template>
  <xsl:template match="p">
    <xsl:variable name="pns" select="namespace-uri()"/>
    <xsl:for-each select="namespace::*[name()!=$pns and name()!='xml'][1]">
      <xsl:element name="{name()}:para" namespace="{.}">this is a test 
to retrieve the namespace uris
        and name.</xsl:element>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>
</x:stylesheet>

to get

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><newDoc>
    ...
    <anElem:para 
xmlns:anElem="http://www.namespace.com/namespaces/anElem";>this is a test 
to retrieve the namespace uris
        and name.</anElem:para>
    ...
</newDoc>

Best Regards,
George
