Hi, I need to copy all the child elements from the parent element to output xml using xalan c++ transform method. However, one of the child element is prefixed but does not have corresponding namespace. What should I do in xslt so that all the children elements of parent element are copied to output xml file without caring the namespace. Altova XMLSpy does that but When I use xalan c++ 1.10 , it does not copy. How I can achieve this using xalan c++ 1.10 ? E.g. Input XML file ============ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SwInt:Request > <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> XSLT file ====== <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:Sw="urn:swift:snl:ns.Sw" xmlns:SwInt="urn:swift:snl:ns.SwInt" xmlns:SwSec="urn:swift:snl:ns.SwSec" > <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:copy-of select="/SwInt:Request/SwInt:RequestHeader"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Output Xml comes with <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> Regards Ajay
