Saxon: namespace-alias removes the required xmlns attribute

[katzlbt]

I have the problem to create SVG output with XSLT Saxon8 that should look like following snippet, but I cannot get the xmlns attribute into the output!

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE svg

  PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">

<svg width="100%" height="1280" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">

With the following INCLUDED in the XSLT the attribute xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" is removed from the result at any spot and cannot be included (not using exclude-result-prefixes for svg).

Code: Select all

<xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="svg" result-prefix="#default"/>

With exactly this line REMOVED in the XSLT the result looks like that and gives errors in Xerces (Element type "svg:svg" must be declared):

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE svg:svg

  PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">

<svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="100%" height="1280" version="1.1">

   <svg:g transform="translate(0,0)">

Any hints are appreciated!
Thanks for any help & hints!
I am using Oxygen 8.2, but upgraded the saxon jars to the latest.

Hello,

I have the problem to create SVG output with XSLT Saxon8 that should look like following snippet, but I cannot get the xmlns attribute into the output!

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE svg

  PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">

<svg width="100%" height="1280" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">

When you use

Code: Select all

<xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="svg" result-prefix="#default"/>

I think Saxon should add the declaration of the default namespace xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" in the result of the transformation:

Code: Select all

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" ...

The specification says that "In the event that the same URI is used as a literal namespace URI and a target namespace URI, the second of these rules takes precedence." It seems it is a Saxon bug. To avoid it you should set the default namespace to the SVG namespace in the stylesheet:

Code: Select all

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"

    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

    xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions"

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

    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"

    exclude-result-prefixes="fn xs">



...





    <xsl:template match="/">

        <svg width="100%" height="100%" version="1.1">

            <g transform="translate(0,0)"/>

        </svg>

    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Thanks alot!
This really produced the desired result.
I thought I had tried that too, but apparently I haven't.

Code: Select all

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

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" 

    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 

    xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions" 

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

    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"

    exclude-result-prefixes="fn xs">

    <xsl:output 

        method="xml" 

        doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" 

        doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"

        media-type="image/svg+xml" 

        xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" 

        indent="yes"/>



... no alias ...

Code: Select all
