I have an XML document, and I want to change the values for one of the attributes.
First I copied everything from input to output using:
<xsl:template match="#*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
And now I want to change the value of the attribute "type" in any element named "property".
This problem has a classical solution: Using and overriding the identity template is one of the most fundamental and powerful XSLT design patterns:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:param name="pNewType" select="'myNewType'"/>
<xsl:template match="node()|#*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|#*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="property/#type">
<xsl:attribute name="type">
<xsl:value-of select="$pNewType"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When applied on this XML document:
<t>
<property>value1</property>
<property type="old">value2</property>
</t>
the wanted result is produced:
<t>
<property>value1</property>
<property type="myNewType">value2</property>
</t>
Tested on a simple example, works fine:
<xsl:template match="#*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="#type[parent::property]">
<xsl:attribute name="type">
<xsl:value-of select="'your value here'"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
Edited to include Tomalak's suggestion.
The top two answers will not work if there is a xmlns definition in the root element:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<property type="old"/>
</html>
All of the solutions will not work for the above xml.
The possible solution is like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="node()[local-name()='property']/#*[local-name()='type']">
<xsl:attribute name="{name()}" namespace="{namespace-uri()}">
some new value here
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="#*|node()|comment()|processing-instruction()|text()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()|comment()|processing-instruction()|text()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
You need a template that will match your target attribute, and nothing else.
<xsl:template match='XPath/#myAttr'>
<xsl:attribute name='myAttr'>This is the value</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
This is in addition to the "copy all" you already have (and is actually always present by default in XSLT). Having a more specific match it will be used in preference.
I had a similar case where I wanted to delete one attribute from a simple node, and couldn't figure out what axis would let me read the attribute name. In the end, all I had to do was use
#*[name(.)!='AttributeNameToDelete']
I also came across same issue and i solved it as follows:
<!-- identity transform -->
<xsl:template match="#*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<!-- copy property element while only changing its type attribute -->
<xsl:template match="property">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:attribute name="type">
<xsl:value-of select="'your value here'"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*[not(local-name()='type')]|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
For the following XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
<property type="foo"/>
<node id="1"/>
<property type="bar">
<sub-property/>
</property>
</root>
I was able to get it to work with the following XSLT:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="#*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="//property">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:attribute name="type">
<xsl:value-of select="#type"/>
<xsl:text>-added</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:copy-of select="child::*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
If your source XML document has its own namespace, you need to declare the namespace in your stylesheet, assign it a prefix, and use that prefix when referring to the elements of the source XML - for example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="utf-8" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />
<!-- identity transform -->
<xsl:template match="node()|#*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|#*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<!-- exception-->
<xsl:template match="xhtml:property/#type">
<xsl:attribute name="type">
<xsl:text>some new value</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Or, if you prefer:
...
<!-- exception-->
<xsl:template match="#type[parent::xhtml:property]">
<xsl:attribute name="type">
<xsl:text>some new value</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
...
ADDENDUM:
In the highly unlikely case where the XML namespace is not known beforehand, you could do:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="utf-8" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />
<!-- identity transform -->
<xsl:template match="node()|#*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|#*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<!-- exception -->
<xsl:template match="*[local-name()='property']/#type">
<xsl:attribute name="type">
<xsl:text>some new value</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
Of course, it's very difficult to imagine a scenario where you would know in advance that the source XML document contains an element named "property", with an attribute named "type" that needs replacing - but still not know the namespace of the document. I have added this mainly to show how your own solution could be streamlined.

i want to remove "nso" prefix from the output xml file with out removing the namespace declaration but in the declaration part also i need to remove "ns0:" & ":ns0".

Please help me on this requirment.
Thanks.
i used below code but it is removing all the nso prefix's along with namespace declarations but i want to remove only nso prefix's for individual xml tags from the element "ns0:CstmrCdtTrfInitn" before this element i want to remove "ns0:" & ":ns0" and keep the declaration with out "ns0".
`
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Change

to
<xsl:template match="/*//*">

and add a template
<xsl:template match="/*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#* | node()"/>
</xsl:copy>

--- edited in view of changed requirement ---
To remove the ns0 prefix from all elements in the input XML, while keeping them in the original namespace, do:
XSLT 1.0
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:element name="{local-name()}" namespace="{namespace-uri()}">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I have an xml with subelements and need to change one of the subelement to attribute using XSLT 1.0
<TransportationRequest>
<actionCode>01</actionCode>
<ContractConditionCode>DC</ContractConditionCode>
<ShippingTypeCode>17</ShippingTypeCode>
<MovementTypeCode>3</MovementTypeCode>
<DangerousGoodsIndicator>false</DangerousGoodsIndicator>
<DefaultCurrencyCode>SAR</DefaultCurrencyCode>
The Expected xml is as below using the XSLT code:
<TransportationRequest actionCode="01">
<ContractConditionCode>DC</ContractConditionCode>
<ShippingTypeCode>17</ShippingTypeCode>
<MovementTypeCode>3</MovementTypeCode>
<DangerousGoodsIndicator>false</DangerousGoodsIndicator>
<DefaultCurrencyCode>SAR</DefaultCurrencyCode>
First, close the root tag on your xml:
<TransportationRequest>
<actionCode>01</actionCode>
<ContractConditionCode>DC</ContractConditionCode>
<ShippingTypeCode>17</ShippingTypeCode>
<MovementTypeCode>3</MovementTypeCode>
<DangerousGoodsIndicator>false</DangerousGoodsIndicator>
<DefaultCurrencyCode>SAR</DefaultCurrencyCode>
</TransportationRequest>
then this xsl will do what you asked for:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="#*|node()">
<!-- Copy every node as is -->
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="TransportationRequest">
<!-- transform the TransportationRequest node in a special way -->
<xsl:element name="TransportationRequest">
<xsl:attribute name="actionCode"><xsl:value-of select="actionCode" /></xsl:attribute>
<!-- don't transform the actionCode node (is in the attribute) -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()[name()!='actionCode']"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
You could to it like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="TransportationRequest">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:attribute name="actionCode">
<xsl:value-of select="actionCode"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="actionCode"/>
<xsl:template match="#*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Input XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-inf metadata-complete="true">
<A>
<A1>DGDDG</A1>
<A1>TYTY</A1>
</A>
</web-inf>
When i am applying my transforms then the O/P XML is just dumping the <web-inf> tag without the metadata-complete="true" i.e as below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-inf>
<A>
<A1>DGDDG</A1>
<A1>TYTY</A1>
</A>
</web-inf>
My XSLT Transform file has below in the beginning.
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="node()|#*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|#*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="web-inf[not(A/A1='hello')]">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:call-template name="XXX"/>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Not sure what going wrong here.
Any suggestions?
<xsl:copy> copies only the current node, but not any attributes or child nodes. You are already catering for the child nodes with <xsl:apply-templates /> (which is equivalent to <xsl:apply-templates select="node()" />), but you also need to handle selecting attributes separately.
<xsl:template match="web-inf[not(A/A1='hello')]">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*" />
<xsl:call-template name="XXX"/>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
Using XSLT 1.0 I would like to comment out certain XML elements and replace other XML elements, while keeping the XML nicely formatted.
For example, the following XML document
<doc>
<e1>foo</e1>
<e2>bar</e2>
</doc>
should be converted to
<doc>
<!--<e1>foo</e1>-->
<e3>foobar</e3>
<e4>foobar</e4>
</doc>
I am using the following XSL transformation and xsltproc for testing it:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*" />
<xsl:output indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="node()|#*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|#*" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="e1">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><!--</xsl:text> <!--*-->
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:copy>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">--></xsl:text> <!--*-->
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="e2">
<e3>foobar</e3><e4>foobar</e4>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
But what I get is this:
<doc><!--<e1>foo</e1>--><e3>foobar</e3><e4>foobar</e4></doc>
The problem seems to be caused by the lines marked with '*' in my transformation; more specifically from inserting <!-- and -->. When I remove these two elements, the result is indented as expected.
Is there a way to wrap elements in comments while still keeping the output document nicely formatted?
Try whether outputting a comment with the serialization of the element, as in
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:import href="http://lenzconsulting.com/xml-to-string/xml-to-string.xsl"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="node()|#*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|#*" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="e1">
<xsl:comment>
<xsl:call-template name="xml-to-string"></xsl:call-template>
</xsl:comment>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="e2">
<e3>foobar</e3><e4>foobar</e4>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
gives you a better result.

Question: I have to remove the root1 and root nodes and need to do small

This...
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"

xmlns:ns0="http://xyz.com/separate"
xmlns:ns3="http://POProject/Details">

<xsl:template match="ns3:Detail">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="copy-sans-namespace" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*" mode="copy-sans-namespace">
<xsl:element name="{name()}" namespace="{namespace-uri()}">
<xsl:copy-of select="#*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="copy-sans-namespace" />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
...will yield this...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ns3:Detail xmlns:ns3="http://POProject/Details">
<DetailLines>
<ItemID />
<ItemDescription />
</DetailLines>
</ns3:Detail>
I'm not sure it is possible to control the prefix. The XDM data model does not consider it to be significant information.
UDPATE
To get the prefix rename, I thought you would have to go to an XML 1.1 supporting XSLT processor (allowing prefix undefine), but I found a way to do it with XML 1.0 . Try this ...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:ns0="http://xyz.com/separate">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*" />
<xsl:template match="#*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/" xmlns:ns3="http://POProject/Details">
<xsl:apply-templates select="*/*/ns3:Detail" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ns0:Detail" xmlns:ns0="http://POProject/Details">
<ns0:Detail xmlns:ns0="http://POProject/Details">
<xsl:apply-templates select="*" mode="copy-sans-namespace" />
</ns0:Detail>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*" mode="copy-sans-namespace">
<xsl:element name="{name()}" namespace="{namespace-uri()}">
<xsl:copy-of select="#*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="copy-sans-namespace" />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
