xslt transformation does not function - no node recognized

Post by **franz** » Thu Jul 10, 2014 6:49 pm

Hello OxygenXml Users
I experience a strange issue while trying to transform the xml data into html data via xslt
There is no node recognized; all text is displayd and not only the requested one.
Normally this solution worked before; maybe I activated an option in oxygenxml which precludes this operation.

Here is an extract of my xml file

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<ONIXMessage xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference"

  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

  xsi:schemaLocation="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference ../ONIX_BookProduct_XSD_schema+codes_Issue_23/ONIX_BookProduct_3.0_reference.xsd"

  release="3.0">

  <Header>

    <Sender>

      <SenderIdentifier>

        <SenderIDType>01</SenderIDType>

        <IDValue>01</IDValue>

      </SenderIdentifier>

      <SenderName>Édition Arrowhead</SenderName>

      <ContactName>Frank Fischer, +33-622-945-769</ContactName>

      <EmailAddress>ffischer002@gmail.com</EmailAddress>

    </Sender>

    <Addressee>

      <AddresseeName>Amazon EU S.a.r.L.</AddresseeName>

    </Addressee>

    <MessageNumber>782</MessageNumber>

    <SentDateTime>20140707T0750-0500</SentDateTime>

    <MessageNote language="ger">Buchdaten</MessageNote>

    <DefaultLanguageOfText>ger</DefaultLanguageOfText>

  </Header>

Here is the xsl file:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"

xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">



<!--  <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/> -->

  <xsl:output method="html"/>

  

  <xsl:template match="Header">

    <html>

      <body>

        <h2>My Book Collection</h2>

        <xsl:apply-templates/>

      </body>

    </html>

  </xsl:template>



  <xsl:template match="Addressee">

      <xsl:apply-templates/>

  </xsl:template>



  <xsl:template match="AddresseeName">

      <xsl:value-of select="."/>

  </xsl:template>

Maybe you can have a quick look and give me a direction where I should search for the error?

Thanks for assistance

best regards

Franz

Hi,

This is a namespace problem. Your XML declares a default namespace (xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference"). However, your stylesheet does not take the namespace into account and simply tries to match elements from no namespace (e.g. Header).
I'm not sure how this worked before, Oxygen does not have an option for ignoring the namespace for transformations.

For XSLT 2.0 this would be really simple to resolve by specifying on the stylesheet root the attribute
xpath-default-namespace="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference".
For XSLT 1.0 you need to manually modify all the XPaths from matches/selects to indicate that they can be from any namespace, or you can make it specific:
e.g. (any namespace)

Code: Select all

...

<xsl:template match="*:Header">

...

e.g. (specific namespace)

Code: Select all

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"

xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

xmlns:ns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference"

exclude-result-prefixes="ns">

...

<xsl:template match="ns:Header">

...
