XSLT output root element force namespaces and attributes sequence
Hi I need to generate a root element in a output file that contains some attributes and namespaces. It should like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <enfinity xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.2.2/xcs/impex catalog.xsd http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.1/core/impex-dt dt.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.2.2/xcs/impex" xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" xmlns:dt="http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.1/core/impex-dt" major="6" minor="1" family="enfinity" branch="enterprise" build="6.3.1.2.5"> what I get is this: <enfinity xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.2.2/xcs/impex" xmlns:dt="http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.1/core/impex-dt" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.1/xcs/impex catalog.xsd http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.1/core/impex-dt dt.xsd" major="6" minor="1" family="enfinity" branch="enterprise" build="6.3.1.2.5"> How can I force in XSLT that (xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace") is always added to the root element and how can I force on where the attributes are sorted. My xslt snippet is: <xsl:template match="/"... <xsl:element name="enfinity" namespace="http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.2.2/xcs/impex"> <xsl:attribute name="xsi:schemaLocation">http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.1/xcs/impex catalog.xsd http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.1/core/impex-dt dt.xsd</xsl:attribute> <xsl:namespace name="xsi">http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance</xsl:namespace> <xsl:namespace name="">http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.2.2/xcs/impex</xsl:namespace> <xsl:namespace name="xml">http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace</xsl:namespace> <xsl:namespace name="dt">http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.1/core/impex-dt</xsl:namespace> <xsl:attribute name="major" select="$major"/> <xsl:attribute name="minor" select="$minor"/> <xsl:attribute name="family" select="$family"/> <xsl:attribute name="branch" select="$branch"/> <xsl:attribute name="build" select="$build"/> Yours, Martijn
Martijn, I'm not as expert in XML as those who usually answer this list, but since it's been several hours, I'll take a shot. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. 1) IIRC, identifiers starting with the letters "xml" are reserved... including namespace prefixes. (See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-common-syn). Thus XML tools may be (silently?) rejecting your requested namespace prefix "xml". The good news is that the problem should disappear if you choose a namespace prefix that doesn't start with "xml". 2) Traditionally, order of attributes in XML is not significant. Generally, XML tools do not recognize or preserve an ordering. If there is an option in XSLT 2.0 to specify the ordering of attributes on output, I don't know about it. Sorry this is not good news. But the bright side is that whatever processes are downstream should not care about the order of attributes in the output of the stylesheet. Unless they're humans.

Dear Marijn, The XML namespace http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace bound to the "xml" prefix is declared by default in any XML document. Thus, it does not need to be declared. If declared then it needs to be always bound to the "xml" prefix. Even in your XSLT fragment the declaration is redundant because it is always added by the namepsace fixup, see http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#namespace-fixup *** Every element must have a namespace node whose expanded-QName has local-part xml and whose string value is http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace. The namespace prefix xml must not be associated with any other namespace URI, and the namespace URI http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace must not be associated with any other prefix. *** Note also at the same location: *** The actual namespace nodes that are added to the tree by the namespace fixup process are implementation-dependent, provided firstly, that at the end of the process the above constraints must all be satisfied, and secondly, that *a namespace node must not be added to the tree unless the namespace node is necessary either to satisfy these constraints, or to enable the tree to be serialized using the original namespace prefixes* from the source document or stylesheet. *** As the XML namespace is not needed (it is present in any XML document) the XSLT processor does not add it when the result is serialized. The XSLT spec for serialization does not require a specific order for namespace declarations and attributes, thus you cannot force a specific order. You can observe how a specific version of a specific processor works and maybe rely on that but you should also be prepared to have a different order as soon as you change the processor or upgrade to a different version. As a reference in the spec please see http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-xquery-serialization/#reconstructed-tree *** The order of attribute and namespace nodes in the two trees MAY be different. *** Best Regards, George -- George Cristian Bina <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com On 5/25/10 4:58 PM, Martijn Van der Graaff wrote:

Hi George, Thanks for the help. I found this one as well. Communicated that to our supplier and they fixed their code.
