Re: How to give an attribute a QName value, with the

Hi Folks,

I want to transform this:

<xs:attribute name="test" />

to this:

<xs:attribute name="test" type="xs:anySimpleType" />

Here is the code that I tried:

<xsl:template match="xs:attribute">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*" />
<xsl:attribute name="type"><xsl:value-of select="QName('http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema', 'anySimpleType')" /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:sequence select="node()" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Unfortunately that code produces this:

<xs:attribute name="test" type="anySimpleType" />

Notice that there is no prefix on anySimpleType.

What's the best way to accomplish my objective?

I want the prefix on anySimpleType to match the prefix on the <attribute> element, whether it be xs: or xsd: or anything else.

(untested)
<xsl:attribute name="{prefix-from-QName(node-name(.))}:anySimpleType"
     namespace="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <xsl:copy-of select="node()"/>
</xsl:attribute>
