Hi All

Help me
How to add a "xmlns:xsi" as an attribute to the root of my xml document if it is not coming from the source xml.

Thanks in advance

This is actually a namespace node, not an attribute.

If you mean add to your result using xslt, simply put the node in your stylesheet node, and it will get copied over.

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

Thanks for replying

I don't want to copy it over but to generated it using xslt. The code i wrote is as follows:
<xsl:attribute name="xmlns:xsi" namespace="xmlns">
<xsl:text>http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>

But the i output i am getting is breaked as follows
<Update xmlns:ns0="xmlns" ns0:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

When i am trying to validate it against schema it is not getting validated.

Really, just put it in your stylesheet node like so:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
 

It should appear in your root node.
