ad van der endeSubject: Input namespace prefix problem
Author: ad van der ende
Date: 15 Jun 2006 03:26 PM
Hi,

When an input xml has a namespace like xmlns:UML="version1.3" and the output xml must have a namespave like xmlns:UML="version1.4" the mapping and xpath assumes the namespace with version1.4 and not he namespave with version1.3. Resulting in no data is transfered from input to output.

How to resolve this?


UnknownArisXMI2.xmi
output file

UnknownEnterpriseArchitectXMI_Roundtrip.xmi
input file

Unknownmapper.xsl.bak
mapper file

The easiest thing would be generating an XML document using a different namespace prefix (which won't affect the validity of your output); otherwise you can make the 1.3 ns definition *very* local, like in:

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:UML="omg.org/UML1.4">
<xsl:template match="/">
<XMI>
<XMI.content>
<UML:Package>
<xsl:attribute name="xmi.id">
<xsl:value-of select="XMI/XMI.content/UML:Model/UML:Namespace.ownedElement/UML:Package/@xmi.id" xmlns:UML="omg.org/UML1.3"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</UML:Package>
</XMI.content>
</XMI>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Unfortunately mapper doesn't help you with these cases; you could workaround the problem changing all occurrences of "xmlns:UML" and "UML:" to "xmlns:UML14" and "UML14" in the target document.

Another solution is to map on basis of the xsd's.
is it not?

Kind regards

It depends on the schema; if the schema defines the different UML namespace using the same prefix, you will most likely end up with the same problem.
