XSL transformation not finding template

[Kevin Dean]

I'm trying to create an XSL transformation that will strip out
development-specific attributes from deployment descriptors and other XML
files. I have already successfully done so with web.xml but I'm at a
complete loss as to what is wrong with the one below. This is a very
abbreviated server-config.wsdd:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deployment xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/"
xmlns:java="htt p://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java">
<globalConfigur ation>
<parameter name="adminPass word" value="admin"/>
<parameter name="sendXsiTy pes" value="true"/>
<parameter name="sendMulti Refs" value="true"/>
<parameter name="sendXMLDe claration" value="true"/>
<parameter name="axis.send MinimizedElemen ts" value="true"/>
<requestFlow>
<handler type="java:org. apache.axis.han dlers.JWSHandle r">
<parameter name="scope" value="session"/>
</handler>
<handler type="java:org. apache.axis.han dlers.JWSHandle r">
<parameter name="scope" value="request"/>
<parameter name="extension " value=".jwr"/>
</handler>
<handler type="java:org. apache.axis.han dlers.SOAPMonit orHandler"/>
</requestFlow>
<responseFlow >
<handler type="java:org. apache.axis.han dlers.SOAPMonit orHandler"/>
</responseFlow>
</globalConfigura tion>
</deployment>

What I'd like to do is copy the entire file but filter out the global
request and response flow elements. To that end, I have created the
following XSL:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:styleshe et xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" />

<xsl:template match="@*|node( )">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node ()" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="/deployment/globalConfigura tion/requestFlow" />

<xsl:template match="/deployment/globalConfigura tion/responseFlow" />
</xsl:stylesheet>

Basically, I want the XSL transformation to remove the
/deployment/globalConfigura tion/requestFlow and
/deployment/globalConfigura tion/responseFlow paths. As I said earlier, I
have done this quite successfully in web.xml (stripping out Axis
administration servlet) but I'm stumped as to why this wouldn't be working
in this instance.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Try specifying the source namespace in the stylesheet:

<xsl:styleshe et xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/"
version="1.0">

No good. I still get the identity transformation back. Here's an even
simpler version of the XSL that should return an empty transformation but
doesn't:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:styleshe et xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" />

<xsl:template match="@*|node( )">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node ()" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="/deployment" />
</xsl:stylesheet>

Hi Kevin,

Because the elements you are trying to filter out are bound to the default
namespace (i.e. xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/" ) in your input
XML.

So to match those elements - you need to declare that namespace in your
stylesheet with an arbitrary prefix (remember that namespaces are matched by
their URI rather than prefix). Then use that arbitrary prefix in your match
patterns, e.g.

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:styleshe et version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:ws="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" />

<xsl:template match="@*|node( )">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node ()" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="ws:reque stFlow | ws:responseFlow " />

</xsl:stylesheet>

Hope this helps
