I am using Microsoft's XSLT processor (1.0 only) XML opening lines: ``` ``` Have the following XSLT template to pick up the ` ` element of my document and change its namespace. ``` ``` Which turns ` ` Into ` ` However I now need to add a second namespace to this so that I get the following output: ``` ``` I have tried using: ``` ``` However I still o…

Multiple Namespaces on an element with XSLT 1.0

namespaces, xslt

Solution

This transformation:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
 xmlns:old="http:\\OldNameSpace.com"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  exclude-result-prefixes="old xsi">
 <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
 <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

 <xsl:param name="pNewNamespace" select="'http:\\NewNameSpace.com'"/>

 <xsl:variable name="vXsi" select="document('')/*/namespace::*[name()='xsi']"/>

 <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
     <xsl:copy>
       <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
     </xsl:copy>
 </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="old:*">
        <xsl:element name="{local-name()}" namespace="{$pNewNamespace}">
          <xsl:copy-of select="$vXsi"/>
            <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
            <xsl:apply-templates />
        </xsl:element>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

when applied on the following XML document:

<Header xmlns="http:\\OldNameSpace.com">
    <Detail/>
</Header>

produces (what I guess is) the wanted, correct result:

<Header xmlns="http:\\NewNameSpace.com"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
   <Detail/>
</Header>

Problem

I am using Microsoft's XSLT processor (1.0 only) XML opening lines: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Header xmlns="http:\\OldNameSpace.com"> <Detail> ``` Have the following XSLT template to pick up the `<Header>` element of my document and change its namespace. ``` <xsl:template match="*"> <xsl:element name="{name()}" xmlns="http:\\NewNameSpace.com"> <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/> <xsl:apply-templates /> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> ``` Which turns `<Header xmlns="http:\\OldNameSpace.com">` Into `<Header xmlns="http:\\NewNameSpace.com">` However I now need to add a second namespace to this so that I get the following output: ``` <Header xmlns="NewNameSpace.com" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> ``` I have tried using: ``` <xsl:template match="*"> <xsl:element name="{name()}" xmlns="NewNameSpace.com" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/> <xsl:apply-templates /> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> ``` However I still only get the same output as the original XSLT template. Can anyone enlighten to me as to why this is?
