RE: namespaces in root element of xsp generated page

<root>

  <xsp:attribute name="xmlns:foo"><xsp:expr>this.contentHandler.startPrefixMapping(myprefix,myuri);</xsp:expr></xsp:attribute>

</root>

 

I don't know for sure if you can use xsp:attribute on the root tag...I guess so.  But for this to work, the attribute name has to be fixed and the attribute value can be set dynamically.

Subject: namespaces in root element of xsp generated page

Hi,

 

I've got an xsp page that I would like to have generate xml that looks like the following...

 

<root xmlns:foo="http://www.foo.com">

    <data>hello</data>

</root>

 

Problem is i'd like to have the foo namespace be dynamic, ie: come from a form variable or database or something. I can add dynamic namespace declarations inside the body of the xml document by going

 

<root>

    <xsp:logic>

        this.contentHandler.startPrefixMapping(myprefix,myuri);

    </xsp:logic>

    <data>hello</data>

</root>

 

which will add a declaration inside the <data/> element, but any content inside <xsp:logic/> tags that is outside the first non-xsp element will not be executed inside the generate() function, so this technique does not work with the root element.

 

Is there a way to add a dynamic namespace declaration to the root element of an xsp-generated xml document? I've thought of intercepting the contentHandler and replacing with my own that does a startPrefixMapping() inside the body of startDocument, but I'm looking for something easier first.

 

thanks in advance,

 

Simon
