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

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

Hi List

Apologies for a newbie question:

I have an XSLT that runs perfectly well through XSLTProc and Xalan
(through the Oxygen editor) so it would seem that my XSLT works.
However, when I run the XSLT on the same input XML file through Java
calling Xalan, I get multiple elements each having a namespace of the
format:

<ElementName xmlns:nsX=http://www.logica.com/project> where X increments
from 0 to 4295 in my particular case!

The Java I am using is the standard one which I cribbed from the Net:

import java.io.*;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
import org.xml.sax.*;
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.*;

public class BasicXsl {
    // This method applies the xslFilename to inFilename and writes
    // the output to outFilename.
    public static void main() {
	String inFileName = "filename";
	String outFileName = "filename";
	String xslFileName = "filename";

        try {
            TransformerFactory factory =
TransformerFactory.newInstance();
		Templates template = factory.newTemplates(new
StreamSource(new FileInputStream(xslFilename)));
	      Transformer xformer = template.newTransformer();
            Source source = new StreamSource(new
FileInputStream(inFilename));
            Result result = new StreamResult(new
FileOutputStream(outFilename));
            xformer.transform(source, result);
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        } catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
            // An error occurred in the XSL file
        } catch (TransformerException e) {
            // An error occurred while applying the XSL file
            // Get location of error in input file
            SourceLocator locator = e.getLocator();
            int col = locator.getColumnNumber();
            int line = locator.getLineNumber();
            String publicId = locator.getPublicId();
            String systemId = locator.getSystemId();
        }
    }
}

Does anyone have any idea why I am getting the extraneous namespaces on
the transformed elements (it is not all elements but the children of
/Root/Child/ - i.e. those lower in the tree), or how to get rid of them?

Thanks in advance
