cant get namespaces from attribute node

           Summary: cant get namespaces from attribute node
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: 2.5
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: org.apache.xpath
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


this worked in previous versions (2.4 and earlier):
where the attribute value in the following has a namespace prefix:
e.g. type="tns:AType" so $ns should have the full namespace
with namespace declareation much further up the tree

<xsl:for-each select="/some path/@some attribute" >
        <xsl:variable name="pre" select="substring-before(current(),':')" />
        <xsl:variable name="ns" select="namespace::*[name() = $pre]" />

        <!-- use $ns ie the full namespace for stuff... -->
</xsl:for-each>

you now need to use ../namespace::*[name() = $pre] and have the element as 
the "current" node to get at the list of namespaces

same in <xsl:for-each select="namespace::*"> ... if the cutrrent() node is an 
attribute.

e.g.
xml:

<sch:test xmlns:sch="mytestnamespace">
        <sch:item name="sch:test" />
</sch:test>



xslt:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
        xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
        xmlns:sch="mytestnamespace">
       
    <xsl:output method="text"/>

        <xsl:template match="/">
                <xsl:for-each select="/sch:test/sch:item/@name" >
                        <xsl:variable name="pre" select="substring-before
(current(),':')" />

        <xsl:value-of select="concat(substring-before(current(),':'),' -
&gt; ', namespace::*[name() = $pre])" />

                
                </xsl:for-each>
        </xsl:template>
        


</xsl:stylesheet>
