Hi When using xalan to transform an xml which has one of its namespace declaration as xmlns:z="#RowsetSchema" using an xsl which has a corresponding name space declaration as
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0" xmlns:s="uuid:BDC6E3F0-6DA3-11d1-A2A3-00AA00C14882" xmlns:dt="uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882" xmlns:rs="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:rowset" xmlns:z="#RowsetSchema"> I get the error : javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Extra illegal tokens: '#RowsetSchema', ':', 'row', '/', '@', 'MESSAGE_TYPE', '=', ''UTILTS E29'' Surprisingly this works fine with saxon and other parsers. Snippets of my XML and XSL's <xml xmlns:s="uuid:BDC6E3F0-6DA3-11d1-A2A3-00AA00C14882" xmlns:dt="uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882" xmlns:rs="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:rowset" xmlns:z="#RowsetSchema"> <xml> <s:Schema id="RowsetSchema"> s:ElementType name="row" content="eltOnly"> <s:AttributeType name="MESSAGE_TYPE" rs:number="1" rs:nullable="true" rs:writeunknown="true"> <s:datatype dt:type="string" rs:dbtype="str" dt:maxLength="10" rs:fixedlength="true"/> </s:AttributeType>.... </s:Schema> <rs:data> <z:row MESSAGE_TYPE="UTILTS E29" MESSAGE_NUMBER="3000" MESSAGE_DATE_TIME="2004-02-04T23:09:08" BALANCE_SUPPLIER_EAN="12" BALANCE_RESPONSIBLE_PARTY_EAN="Grid1" GRID_AREA_EAN="8716959259711" METERING_PERIOD_FROM="2002-12-24T13:45:00" METERING_PERIOD_TO="2002-12-25T13:45:00" ACTIVE_ENERGRY="E" REASON="RECONCILIATION" SETTLEMENT_METHOD="profiled" PERIOD_START="2002-12-24T13:45:00" PERIOD_END="2003-01- 24T13:45:00" VOLUME="101" VOLUME_TYPE="Z01" TIME_FRAME="E10" TIME_RESOLUTION="15" MEASUREMENT_UNIT="KWH"/> </z:row> </xml> My XSL <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0" xmlns:s="uuid:BDC6E3F0-6DA3-11d1-A2A3-00AA00C14882" xmlns:dt="uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882" xmlns:rs="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:rowset" xmlns:z="#RowsetSchema"> <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="no" indent="yes" encoding="ISO-8859-1" version="1.0"/> <xsl:template match="xml">................</xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet> If I remove the # from #RowsetSchema everything works fine. The input XML is generated by MSXML. What's the workaround for this? -Dev
