Neal WaltersSubject: XSLT: The namespace prefix is not allowed to start with the reserved string "xml".
Author: Neal Walters
Date: 08 Dec 2004 11:38 AM

1) I created an XSLT using this file as input and output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AmazonEnvelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:amzn="http://www.amazon.com/XSL/Transform/Extensions" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="amzn-envelope.xsd">
<Header>
<DocumentVersion>1.01</DocumentVersion>
<MerchantIdentifier>ABC</MerchantIdentifier>
</Header>
</AmazonEnvelope>

2) I connect DocumentVersion and MerchantIdentifier using the XSLT:Mapper,
run it and I do see my output, but with no namespaces.

The first XSLT looks like this:

<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<AmazonEnvelope>
<Header>
<DocumentVersion>
<xsl:value-of select="AmazonEnvelope/Header/DocumentVersion"/>
</DocumentVersion>
<MerchantIdentifier>
<xsl:value-of select="AmazonEnvelope/Header/MerchantIdentifier"/>
</MerchantIdentifier>
</Header>
</AmazonEnvelope>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

3) So now I want to copy the namespace info from the source XML to the target XML.
If I use the mapper to connect wither of xmlns:xsi or xmlns:amzn, and run it, I get the error:
The browser view of output says:
The namespace prefix is not allowed to start with the reserved string "xml".

The output xml looks like this:
<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<AmazonEnvelope xmlns:xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/"
xmlns:amzn="">
<Header>
<DocumentVersion>1.01</DocumentVersion>
<MerchantIdentifier>ABC</MerchantIdentifier>
</Header>
</AmazonEnvelope>

The XSLT now looks like this:
<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/">
<xsl:template match="/">
<AmazonEnvelope>
<xsl:attribute name="xmlns:amzn">
<xsl:value-of select="AmazonEnvelope/@xmlns:amzn"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<Header>
<DocumentVersion>
<xsl:value-of select="AmazonEnvelope/Header/DocumentVersion"/>
</DocumentVersion>
<MerchantIdentifier>
<xsl:value-of select="AmazonEnvelope/Header/MerchantIdentifier"/>
</MerchantIdentifier>
</Header>
</AmazonEnvelope>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

4) My get around for now is to change the XSLT manually instead of using the mapper,
I just added the namespaces on the AmazonEnvelope tag below.

<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<AmazonEnvelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:amzn="http://www.amazon.com/XSL/Transform/Extensions" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="amzn-envelope.xsd">
<Header>
<DocumentVersion>
<xsl:value-of select="AmazonEnvelope/Header/DocumentVersion"/>
</DocumentVersion>
<MerchantIdentifier>
<xsl:value-of select="AmazonEnvelope/Header/MerchantIdentifier"/>
</MerchantIdentifier>
</Header>
</AmazonEnvelope>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

5) So my question is - should I be able to connect the namespaces
using the mapper?
