Hi,

I've got the following xml file that I am trying to process with XSL

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<vxml version="2.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/vxml">
<property name="universals" value="none"/>
<property name="maxage" value="30s"/>
</vxml>

I have the following XSL to transform
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:text>Java Script Here</xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates select="vxml"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="property"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="vxml">
Processing vxml template
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="vxml/property">
Processing property template
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

When I try to transform the source XML, nothing happens.
I was expecting to get:
Processing vxml template
Processing property template
...

Instead I get nothing

If I remove the attribute xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/vxml"
from the <vxml> element in the source document, I do get my desired result.

Q) How to I get it to process with the xmlns attribute in my source?

Hi Herb,
You need to define the correct ns in the stylesheet to match the right elements

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:vx="http://www.w3.org/2001/vxml">
>

then change the match rule

<xsl:template match="vx:vxml">

Hope this helps

Thanks for your quick reply. So if my source document contains a xmlns attribute, I have to include that attribute in my xsl stylesheet
and then include the ns declaration in every Xpath epression?

modifying my code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:vx="http://www.w3.org/2001/vxml">
>
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="vx:vxml"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="vx:vxml/property"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="vx:vxml">
Processing vxml template
<xsl:attribute name="maxage">
<xsl:text>todo</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="vx:vxml/property">
Processing property template
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I only get the output

Processing vxml template
and not
Processing property template

Is there another way?

All elements in your XML input are in the same ns so you need to address them with the right prefix

vx:vxml/vx:property

Hope this helps
