Re: [xsl] [XSL] copying namesapces with prefix "xmlns:".

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

saxon6 (XSLT 1) says:

$ saxon bo.xml bo.xsl
Error at xsl:copy-of on line 11 of file:/c:/tmp/bo.xsl:
  Cannot create two namespace nodes with the same name
Transformation failed: Run-time errors were reported

saxon8 (XSLT2) says: (my indentation)
$ saxon8 -novw bo.xml bo.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<_0:definitions
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";

  xmlns:h2w="http://test.de/h2w/bo/";
  xmlns:bo="http://test.de/bo/";
  xmlns="http://www.wfmc.org/2002/XPDL1.0";

</_0:definitions>



So perhaps xslt2 does what you want (it depends what you want).
The problem is that you have conflicting definitions of the default
namespace:

The result tree already has

xmlns="http://test.de/schemas/wfdl/";

from the stylesheet, and then you are copying

xmlns="http://www.wfmc.org/2002/XPDL1.0";

from the source.

In xslt1 this is an error in xslt2 the first one gets renamed. (Actually
I haven't checked the spec again, but that's what saxon dows)

You could copy all the ones except the default namespace with
        <xsl:copy-of select="namespace::*[name()]"/>

which in saxon6 gives:
$ saxon bo.xml bo.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<definitions
  xmlns="http://test.de/schemas/wfdl/";
  xmlns:bo="http://test.de/bo/";
  xmlns:h2w="http://test.de/h2w/bo/";
  xmlns:xpdl="http://www.wfmc.org/2002/XPDL1.0";
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
<FlowModel/>
</definitions>


and in saxon8 gives
$ saxon8 -novw bo.xml bo.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<definitions
  xmlns="http://test.de/schemas/wfdl/";
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
  xmlns:xpdl="http://www.wfmc.org/2002/XPDL1.0";
  xmlns:h2w="http://test.de/h2w/bo/";
   xmlns:bo="http://test.de/bo/";>
<FlowModel/>
</definitions>
