xml - xmlns is not allowing the xslt to update a value -


so our data has xmlns= in child/parent stopping child's value being updated xslt

sample data (please note intentionally removed xmlns="http://example.com/abc-artifact" second record, after <letter illustrate causing error):

<documents>     <document xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance">         <personaldata>             <name>jack</name>         </personaldata>         <documentxml>             <letter xmlns="http://example.com/abc-artifact" xsi:schemalocation="http://example.com/abc-artifact.xsd" xsi:type="lettertype">                 <headerrecord>                     <dateofbirth>1971-11-07</dateofbirth>                 </headerrecord>             </letter>         </documentxml>     </document>     <document xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance">         <personaldata>             <name>tonja</name>         </personaldata>         <documentxml>             <letter xsi:schemalocation="http://example.com/abc-artifact.xsd" xsi:type="lettertype">                 <headerrecord>                     <dateofbirth>1974-22-10</dateofbirth>                 </headerrecord>             </letter>         </documentxml>     </document> </documents> 

xslt

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/xsl/transform">     <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" indent="yes"/>     <xsl:template match="node()">         <xsl:copy>             <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>         </xsl:copy>     </xsl:template>     <xsl:template match="dateofbirth">         <xsl:copy>             <xsl:text>newdob</xsl:text>         </xsl:copy>     </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> 

output

<documents>     <document xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance">         <personaldata>             <name>jack</name>         </personaldata>         <documentxml>             <letter xmlns="http://example.com/abc-artifact">                 <headerrecord>                     <dateofbirth>1971-11-07</dateofbirth>                 </headerrecord>             </letter>         </documentxml>     </document>     <document xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance">         <personaldata>             <name>tonja</name>         </personaldata>         <documentxml>             <letter>                 <headerrecord>                     <dateofbirth>newdob</dateofbirth>                 </headerrecord>             </letter>         </documentxml>     </document> </documents> 

so can see <dateofbirth> updated second record, not first. our team not control data , cannot ask them remove xmlns="http://example.com/abc-artifact". suggestions? thanks

your template:

<xsl:template match="dateofbirth"> 

does not match dateofbirth elements in namespace. this, must use fully-qualified name of element. first, declare namespace , bind prefix, use prefix when addressing element:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/xsl/transform" xmlns:abc="http://example.com/abc-artifact" > <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" indent="yes"/>  <xsl:template match="node()">     <xsl:copy>         <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>     </xsl:copy> </xsl:template>  <xsl:template match="abc:dateofbirth">     <xsl:copy>         <xsl:text>newdob</xsl:text>     </xsl:copy> </xsl:template>  </xsl:stylesheet>
