Hi
I am trying to create a FOP through an XSLT and am having some
trouble with namespaces.
The XML is being generated clientside and being posted to the
server. The server has an XSL on the filesystem which it uses. The
XML generated has namespaces which seem to conflict with the FO
namespaces. I can get it to work with the command line when the
namespaces are absent, but thwen they are present it just throws out
an empty PDF. Has anyone experienced this or know why this is
happening?
Is the document namespace also declared in the stylesheet?
If you have the following root:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";>
...
Then, to process that node in XSLT, you need either:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";>
...
<xsl:template match="svg">
...
or
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";>
...
<xsl:template match="svg:svg">
...
The first option is actually not very convenient, since it would also
mean that the default namespace for the result tree will be the SVG
namespace. The better practice is to bind a prefix and use qualified
names in the matching patterns.
HTH!
