RE: [xsl] Namespace issue when running a Xalan transform through Java

["Etheridge, Stephen" <stephen.etheridge@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Martin et al

The extra namespace declarations all appear in elements that are in a
different namespace in the source, but which need to end up in the
namespace www.logica.com/project and are transformed by the following
extract of a stylesheet:

<xsl:template match="*" mode="copy">
			<xsl:variable name="element-name"
select="local-name()"></xsl:variable>
			<xsl:choose>
				<xsl:when test="contains($element-name,
'List')">
					<xsl:call-template
name="process-lists"></xsl:call-template>
				</xsl:when>
				<xsl:otherwise>
					<xsl:element
name="{local-name()}" namespace="http://www.logica.com/project";>
					<xsl:apply-templates
mode="copy"></xsl:apply-templates>
					</xsl:element>
				</xsl:otherwise>
			</xsl:choose>

</xsl:template>


<xsl:template name="process-lists">
	<xsl:variable name="element-name"
select="local-name()"></xsl:variable>
	<xsl:element name="{$element-name}"
namespace="http://www.logica.com/pnd";><xsl:value-of
select="./dip:N"/></xsl:element>
	<xsl:variable name="local-element-val"><xsl:value-of
select="$element-name"/><xsl:text>LocalVal</xsl:text></xsl:variable>
	<xsl:element name="{$local-element-val}"
namespace="http://www.logica.com/project";><xsl:value-of
select="./dip:NP"/></xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

The namespace addition to the <xsl:element> processing is not reproduced
by XSLTProc or Xalan via the command line, only in the default javax
implementation.


Kind regards
Stephen

Sorry, but to tell you whether the issue is with the stylesheet or with
the XSLT processor you use we need to see XSLT code.
Or, as already suggested, run a different Java XSLT processor (Saxon
implements the JAXP interfaces) to compare the results.
