How to change the default xmlns without a namespace via XSLT?

Hi,

I'm almost there with my final needed output, one line I still need to change but can't find how to do.

The desired result:

The result I get till now:

I tried several things with namespace-alias etc, but the thing is that it is the default namespace.

This is the xslt so far (only the top part)

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:ns3="GE_Schemas" xmlns="">schema.infor.com/.../2" xmlns:expath-zip="">http://expath.org/ns/zip" xmlns:fn="">www.w3.org/.../xpath-functions" xmlns:dns="">schema.infor.com/.../2" xmlns:saxon="">http://saxon.sf.net/" xmlns:expath-file="">http://expath.org/ns/file" xmlns:xsi="">www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsl="">www.w3.org/.../Transform" xmlns:exslt-random="">http://exslt.org/random" xmlns:exslt-common="">http://exslt.org/common" xmlns:exslt-math="">http://exslt.org/math" xmlns:xs="">www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema" xmlns:math="">www.w3.org/.../math" xmlns:map="">www.w3.org/.../map" exclude-result-prefixes="xs xsl fn expath-file expath-zip exslt-common exslt-math exslt-random map math saxon xsi">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" indent="no" byte-order-mark="no"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:element name="OUTPUTS" >

Anyone out there who can give me the clue?

When I was using MEC, I did this via regular expressions but not sure if you're using MEC.

No, I'm using the ION mapper and edit directly in the xslt there.

In the graphical mapper you have the option to remove the namespace in the output so you can switch this on to remove the namespace. So the aim now is to add your namespace.

Hello,

I think you should remove the xmlns=http://schema.infor.com ...declaration and add the "dns" in the exclude-result-prefixes

Then simply begin your style sheet with:

Thanks Maxime,

Sometimes it can be that simple.... :-(

Only removing the xmlns declaration was already enough. You don't need to add the "dns" in the exlude-result-prefixes. After testing I've added the dns just for sure. This works for me. Thanks.
