All namespace prefixes in your XML file should be namespace qualified.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SwInt:Request xmlns:SwInt="urn:swift:snl:ns.SwInt"
xmlns:SwInt1="urn:swift:snl:ns.SwInt1" >
<SwInt:RequestHeader>
<SwInt1:Requestor>cn=requestor,o=pimxbebb,o=swift1</SwInt1:Requestor>
<SwInt:Responder>cn=responder,o=pimxus33,o=swift</SwInt:Responder>
<SwInt:RequestRef>xyz</SwInt:RequestRef>
</SwInt:RequestHeader>
</SwInt:Request>
The following is an edit of your xslt file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:SwInt="urn:swift:snl:ns.SwInt"
xmlns:SwInt1="urn:swift:snl:ns.SwInt1" >
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"
omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:copy-of select="/SwInt:Request/SwInt:RequestHeader"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Producing the output file
<SwInt:RequestHeader xmlns:SwInt="urn:swift:snl:ns.SwInt"
xmlns:SwInt1="urn:swift:snl:ns.SwInt1">
<SwInt1:Requestor>cn=requestor,o=pimxbebb,o=swift1</SwInt1:Requestor>
<SwInt:Responder>cn=responder,o=pimxus33,o=swift</SwInt:Responder>
<SwInt:RequestRef>xyz</SwInt:RequestRef>
</SwInt:RequestHeader>
I am unclear on what you are actually trying to do:
You only need in the stylesheet the prefix declarations used in the
stylesheet. The xml documents need namespace declarations for the
prefixes they use.
