Hi,
Has upgraded xalan-c from version 1.4 to 1.10 and noticed that
default namespace is not shown in the result document, compared to the
old xalan version,
when using the <xsl:element>
Is it a bug or a fix in the new version?
Hmm, I though it was a fix, but perhaps it a bug after all. I'll need
to do some research into the history, since I remember this coming up.
The XSLT recommendation is explicit:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-Creating-Elements-with-xsl:element
"The name attribute is interpreted as an attribute value template. It is
an error if the string that results from instantiating the attribute
value template is not a QName. An XSLT processor may signal the error;
if it does not signal the error, then it must recover by making the the
result of instantiating the xsl:element element be the sequence of nodes
created by instantiating the content of the xsl:element element,
excluding any initial attribute nodes. If the namespace attribute is not
present then the QName is expanded into an expanded-name using the
namespace declarations in effect for the xsl:element element, including
any default namespace declaration."
So it seems to me we should be adding a namespace node for the default
namespace. Can you please open a Jira issue so we can track this?
