Srini RamSubject: Question about variable substitution during XSLT xml-to-xml transformation
Author: Srini Ram

Hi,

I am relatively new to XSLT and am trying to do a simple variable substitution in the following code snippet:

<xsl:variable name="targetNamespace" select="wsdl:definitions/@targetNamespace"/>

<xsl:template match="/input">
<input>
<soap:header message="doc:slSoapHeader" part="slSoapHeader" use="literal" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:doc="{$targetNamespace}"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/>
</input>
</xsl:template>

However, the transformation outputs the string "{$targetNamespace}" literally to the output xml file without doing variable substitution. I noticed that if I change the "xmlns:doc" attribute to a simple attribute such as "doc" i.e. doc="{$targetNamespace}", the variable substitution works fine. Is there something wrong with my syntax?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Srini.

Well, you want to use <xsl:attribute> for substitution, but that also
probably won't do what you want, because xmlns:doc isn't just an
attribute, but a namespace declaration which is handled specially.

First, is this a Stylus Studio-related question? This is the
Stylus Studio Developer's Network, but we don't recognize your email.

You might consider posting on the general-purpose xsl-list run by
Mulberry Technologies.

In order to really help you, please include a minimal but working
example when you post there.
