RE: Transformation Problem

I have taken this as a tutorial problem for my own personal benefit, as my
understanding of XPATH and namespaces is severely lacking. I see no evidence
of processing problems, but plenty of reason to suspect problems with
resolution of your "default namespaces." Your example works after making the
following repairs:

  -- supply the appropriate termination tags to the xml document
  -- supply the appropriate xml and stylesheet tag to the xsl
  -- in the stylesheet tag, supply all of the namespace declarations
necessary to evaluate the stylesheet
  -- supply an explicit 'def' namespace declarations for the namespace used
as the default in the xml document
  -- repair the XPATH to the 'languageCode' and 'responseStatus' nodes by
specifying the 'SOAP-ENV:Body' nodes, not the 'soapenv:Header' nodes
  -- specify the 'def' namespace for the 'response', 'companyResponse' and
'responseHeader' nodes.

Subject: Transformation Problem


Hello
I am kind of new on working with XML and XSL transformation..
however i have worked with XSL transformation for a short time only..

i have a small problem which i am facing and i do not really understand what
is causing although i think the problem has something to do with the
namespace..

i try to transform a SOAP_Message XML file to a normal XML file and i can
get the values below the Header..meaning inside the the body element...

my XSL transformation looks like below...
<xsl:template match="/">
<Root>
<xsl:value-of select="SOAP-ENV:Envelope/soapenv:Header/cmn:timeStamp"/>
<xsl:value-of
select="SOAP-ENV:Envelope/soapenv:Header/ns:getReportResponse/response/compa
nyResponse/responseHeader/cmn:languageCode" />
<xsl:value-of
select="SOAP-ENV:Envelope/soapenv:Header/ns:getReportResponse/response/compa
nyResponse/responseHeader/cmn:responseStatus" />
</Root>

the timeStamp can be retrieved easily but however the field responseStatus
can not be retrieved..i get an empty element..

can someone please tell me what i am doing wrong??

i have tried to search for a nice reason and people have just hinted the
namespace issue and i have not managed to clear reason like what is the
cause exactly...

my sample XML message is below::
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<soapenv:Header xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<cmn:timeStamp
xmlns:cmn="http://www.companyName.com/XMLSchema/compMain.xsd">123445+0001</c
mn:timeStamp>
</soapenv:Header>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns:getReportResponse xmlns:ns="http://www.companyName.com/company/">
<response xmlns:fs="http://www.companyName.com/XMLSchema/Company_4.xsd"
xmlns:cmn="http://www.companyName.com/XMLSchema/compMain.xsd"
xmlns:pr="http://www.companyName.com/XMLSchema/details.xsd"
xmlns="http://www.companyName.com/XMLSchema/compMain3.xsd"
xsi:SchemaLocation="http://www.companyName.com/XMLSchema/compMain3.xsd">
<companyResponse>
<responseHeader>
<cmn:languageCode
xmlns:cmn="http://www.companyName.com/XMLSchema/compMain.xsd">com</cmn:langu
ageCode>
<cmn:state
xmlns:cmn="http://www.companyName.com/XMLSchema/compMain.xsd">1</cmn:state>
</responseHeader>
</companyResponse>
</response>

thanks for help in advance
