Namespace Question

I have an XSLT failing due to namespace issue on an inbound item master BOD. Is there a way to strip / ignore namespace references from the inbound document? Thanks.

Hello Tgkeys,

Can you be more precise about your namespace ? Is it something like xmlns="http://example.com" or something like xmlns:my="http://example.com" ?

In the first case, you can try to add : xpath-default-namespace="http://example.com" (your namespace) at the top of your xslt sheet

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="www.w3.org/.../Transform" xpath-default-namespace="http://example.com ">

In the second one, you can try to add : exclude-result-prefixes="my" onto your <xsl:stylesheet>

By the way, which Infor ERP is sending this BOD ItemMaster ?

Thanks for the reply Maxime. The inbound bod is coming from a sister company of ours. We used the Item Master BOD but most of the meaningful data is buried in the UserArea. For some reason, the BOD comes into ION and hits my XSLT with the following schema and location name spaces which seems to cause my XSLT to fail. The document is generated out of a version of XA. When I manually remove the namespace references, the XSLT works fine. I thought there was a way to suppress / strip namespace from ION desk?

<SyncItemMaster xmlns="schema.infor.com/.../2" xmlns:xsi="www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="schema.infor.com/.../SyncItemMaster.xsd" versionID="2.10.0" systemEnvironmentCode="Production" releaseID="9.2" languageCode="en-US">

My XSLT looks like this:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="www.w3.org/.../Transform">

<xsl:template match="@*|node()">

<xsl:element name="SyncItemMaster">

<xsl:copy-of select="//ApplicationArea"/>

<xsl:element name="DataArea">

<xsl:copy-of select="//Sync"/>

<xsl:element name="ItemMaster">

<xsl:element name="ItemMasterHeader">

<xsl:copy-of select="//ItemID"/>

<xsl:copy-of select="//DisplayID"/>

<Description><xsl:value-of select='translate(//Description, "*~<<>'&[]:", " ")'/></Description>

<xsl:copy-of select="//UserArea"/>

</xsl:element>

</xsl:element>

</xsl:element>

</xsl:element>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

My XSLT output looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<SyncItemMaster>

<DataArea>

<ItemMaster>

<ItemMasterHeader>

<Description/>

</ItemMasterHeader>

</ItemMaster>

</DataArea>

</SyncItemMaster>

This following XSLT 1.0 removes ns and can be found on the internet :

You can try to apply yours after this.

If you setup your sheet in 2.0, adding xpath-default-namespace="http://schema.infor.com/InforOAGIS/2" should do the trick.

Good morning. I sure could use some of your knowledge about now as you had helped me a few years back. I'm in the middle of a Go-Live and I have some xslt that is failing in production but it works in test. Is there any way we can connect? I realize this is a hail mary but I'm getting desperate.
