I am trying to transform an xml with attributes to element. Although i have been successfully in doing it, i am not able to restrict it to the elements i want because of some namespace issues.

Can someone tell me how to do this only for element <z:row />
In stylesheet if i give <xsl:template match="@*">, i get an Transformation exception

abc.xml
xml File

ABC.xsl
XSL

Assuming you have a z:row template it would be something like:

<xsl:template match="z:row">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:for-each select="@*">
<xsl:element name="{local-name()}" >
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

The reason why it fails with a @* template is because you are creating elements even in places where there should be no elements, eg multiple elements at root level or elements before attributes in an element.
