Subject: Remove only root namespace, but retain the internal namespace
Author: Sandesh J

Hi,

I'm having a peculiar problem..
I have an XSD as follows..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<p:MyReq
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:_02="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:something"
xmlns:p="http://somecompany/MyXSD">

<RqUID>as</RqUID>
<MsgRqHdr>
<SomeInfo>
<SomeOwner>Other</SomeOwner>
</SomeInfo>
</MsgRqHdr>
<something>
<_02:GrpHdr>
<_02:MsgId>123456</_02:MsgId>
<_02:NbOfTx>1</_02:NbOfTx>
</_02:GrpHdr>
</something>
</p:MyReq>

Note here the root element has a namespace and the sub nodes withing < something/> is having a different namespace.

Now what I want to do is remove only the root namespace so that the XML looks like this...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MyReq
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:_02="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:something"

<RqUID>as</RqUID>
<MsgRqHdr>
<SomeInfo>
<SomeOwner>Other</SomeOwner>
</SomeInfo>
</MsgRqHdr>
<something>
<_02:GrpHdr>
<_02:MsgId>123456</_02:MsgId>
<_02:NbOfTx>1</_02:NbOfTx>
</_02:GrpHdr>
</something>
</MyReq>

I can do 2 things...
1) Use single XSL to remove the root namespace directly or
2) Remove all the namespaces in the first call(which I know how to do) and then add the namespace only to the sub nodes.

Could someone please suggest how any of this could be done.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Sandesh.
