RE: How to remove the automatically generated empty n

The thing to remember is that you control which namespace the element goes
in, and the XSLT processor then decides what namespace declarations to emit
to make this happen. If you say

<xsl:element name="x"/>

without specifying the namespace attribute, then you are asking for the
element to go in the "null namespace", and the xmlns="" is added to achieve
this.

If you want the element to be in the same namespace as its parent element
in the result tree then you need to specify this explicitly using the
namespace attribute of xsl:element.

Subject:  How to remove the automatically generated empty namespace by
xsl


Hi ,

I am new to xslt, so my doubt might be naive. The problem i am facing is -
when i try to use <xsl:element .. /> in main template it gets generated
fine.
But when i call another template from this one and then use <xsl:element
name="abc />, it generates <abc xmlns="">  .

Here is a sample xsl : (see the two abc tags)

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
                xmlns:a="http://www.abcd.com/abCD"
                xmlns:fpml="http://www.fpml.org/2004/FpML-4-1"
                 exclude-result-prefixes="goml fpml map">
             <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

             <xsl:template match="/">
                <Tag1 xmlns="http://www.abc.com/wahtever"
                        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
"
                        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.abc.com/wahtever
myschema.xsd">
                     <xsl:element name="abc" />
                     <xsl:call-template name="tem1" />

                </Tag1>
              </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template name="tem1">
        <xsl:element name="abc" />
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


Output :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Tag1 xmlns:a="http://www.abcd.com/abCD"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://www.abc.com/wahtever"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.abc.com/wahtever myschema.xsd">
<abc/>
<abc xmlns=""/>
</Tag1
