[xsl] template pattern does not get matched properly with xmlns declaration

[Helen_Li at adc dot com]

Hi Guys,

I am currently doing some work on XSL, mainly transforming XML file to text
format.  I have written a small xsl file and encounted the following problem.

==== xml file test.xml ====
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<IPDRDoc xmlns="http://www.ipdr.org/namespaces/ipdr"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.ipdr.org/namespaces/ipdr/VideoOnDemand1.xsd"
seqNum="124" version="2.0" >
   <IPDRRec info="Vendor name, Inc.">
      <IPDR seqNum="1" time="2000-02-01T07:00:00Z">
           <SS id="ses10" service="RTSP">
          <SC xsi:type="SC-VOD-Type">
               <subscriberId>199.203.132.2</subscriberId>
          <destAddress>192.168.1.10</destAddress>
          </SC>
          <SE xsi:type="SE-VOD-Type">
                    <serviceProviderID>ACME inc</serviceProviderID>
          <sourceAddress>38.249.211.7</sourceAddress>
          </SE>
         </SS>
         <UE xsi:type="UE-VOD-Type">
     <movieName>Rocky CIX</movieName>
     <movieID>10234</movieID>
          <startTime>1999-12-31T23:59:00</startTime>
                <endTime>2000-01-01T04:15:00</endTime>
     <terminationStatus>normal</terminationStatus>
         </UE>
    </IPDR>
  </IPDRRec>
</IPDRDoc>

========= test.xsl ========
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:output method="text"/>
  <xsl:preserve-space elements="text"/>
    <xsl:template match="/IPDRDoc">
     <xsl:text>a, b, </xsl:text>d, e
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

After running "java com.jclark.xsl.sax.Driver test.xml test.xsl test.out", the
output is not what I want.
======== output file test.out==========






199.203.132.2
192.168.1.10


                ACME inc
38.249.211.7



Rocky CIX

        1999-12-31T23:59:00
                2000-01-01T04:15:00
normal




it seems the xsl template on pattern "/IPDRDoc"  can not get matched properly.

However after I removed xmlns declaration(i.e xmlns="
http://www.ipdr.org/namespaces/ipdr" part) from IPDRDoc element
in test.xml, everything is just working fine. I have no idea what's wrong with
the xml/xsl test files.

I am wondering if any of you know about it?

Thanks a lot,

Helen
