Subject: [xsl] Confusing namespaces and xslt From: "Paul Ferwerda" <pflists@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2008 14:36:42 -0400 |
I have a newbie question. I've gone round and around on this issue and haven't been able to make any headway on my own. I suspect I'm missing some basic understanding of how to use XPath expressions and how namespaces are used. so I apologize in advance if the question is a stupid one. I need to handle the following xml and generate new xml that makes some changes to some of the attributes; <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <box-client xmlns="somecompany.com/box/client" xmlns:box="http://somecompany.com/box"> <name>theclient</name> <description>theclient</description> <network> <box:host>host.somecompany.com</box:host> <box:components> <box:component> <box:name>Ports</box:name> <box:port>7801</box:port> </box:component> </box:components> </network> <logging> <box:rotation-time>24</box:rotation-time> <box:file-severity>info</box:file-severity> </logging> <use-connections>false</use-connections> <work-managers> <box:work-manager> <box:name>WM</box:name> <box:description>WM</box:description> </box:work-manager> <box:work-manager> <box:name>ClientRuntime-WM</box:name> <box:description>ClientRuntime-WM</box:description> </box:work-manager> </work-managers> </box-client> I inherited the above xml and am unable to change it so I have to figure out how to process what I've got. I need to create a new xml file with a changed value for the box:rotation-time and I need to add a new <box:manager>ClientConnections</box:manager> element. If I understand things correctly, the above xml declares a somecompany.com/box/client namespace and a http://somecompany.com/box namespace. I believe that the items in thesomecompany.com/box/client name space are defined in a client.xsd file and the box items are defined in a box.xsd file. I don't know why a prefix wasn't used for the first namespace but it wasn't. I'm having trouble figuring what xslt/xpath to use to access the box:rotation-time element and what xslt to use to add in a new <box:work-manager> inside the <work-managers> element. I'm confused as to which namesp If I can figure out the correct namespace I think I can use a for-each to iterate through the elements and replace the ones I need to replace or add in the one I need to add it. Thanks!
