Re: XSLT Transformation and namespaces issue

[Nick]

Hi Conal,
Thank you very much for your reply.
I don't know what your problem is, but maybe there's something wrong with your XSLT? The XSLT you posted is not a complete stylesheet - perhaps you could post it? Or at least, the start of it?
 

The XSLT transformation seem to be just fine.
XSLT Transformation:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
   xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
   xmlns:h="http://apache.org/cocoon/request/2.0";
   xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";>
<!-- userName - comes from the session -->
<xsl:param name="userName"/>
<!-- Match The Root Node -->
<!-- generate xml that will be matched on by the source writing 
transformer and will
cause the xml fragment to be inserted at the beginning of the xml doc -->

<xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:variable name="textLabel" 
select="h:request/h:requestParameters/h:[EMAIL PROTECTED]'title']/h:value"/>
   <xsl:variable name="textLink" 
select="h:request/h:requestParameters/h:[EMAIL PROTECTED]'url']/h:value"/>

   <!-- the text type will have to be added to the topic -->
   <xsl:variable name="textType" 
select="h:request/h:requestParameters/h:[EMAIL PROTECTED]'type']/h:value"/>

   <!-- this next variable, textID, will have to be generated, I guess 
- we'll just use the text title for now -->
   <xsl:variable name="textID" select="$textLabel"/>

   <xsl:variable name="notes" 
select="h:request/h:requestParameters/h:[EMAIL PROTECTED]'description']/h:value"/>

           </map:transform>

   </map:match>

Produced output without xmldb transformer:

               </occurrence>
           </xupdate:element>
       </xupdate:append>
   </xupdate:modifications>
</xmldb:query>

Expected output is the same except there should be 
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"; associated with every 
<topicRef> tag. If I take this XML, add the namespaces and use it in a 
pipeline with file generator, xmldb transformer and xml serializer, then 
the topic is stored in the topic map. If I use xml given above (it's 
exactly the same except there are no namespaces) the result will be a 
failure.
