How to match namespaces in template?

[Mark Harburg <mh...@rome.com>]

I'm trying to match an element in an XML that has a namespace, but with no luck.  Here's what I tried:

-------- source xml --------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Workbook xmlns="aaa:bbb">
	hi
</Workbook>

--------- my xsl -----------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
      xmlns:aaa="http://www.test.org"
      xmlns:aaa:bbb="http://www.test.org">
   <xsl:template match="aaa:bbb:Workbook">
      <ws>
         <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </ws>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

-------------------------------

I can't seem to find an answer to this in any documentation.

Thanks.

Your example isn't that great...

There are a number of things broken here.

It is generally a bad idea to have the above XML with a colon.  I think it may
be invalid.  Or at least a bad idea.

Try 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Workbook xmlns="urn:aaa">
	hi
</Workbook>


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns="urn:aaa">

   <xsl:template match="Workbook">

      <ws>
          <xsl:apply-templates/>
       </ws>

   </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
 

btw... you will also need to declare the xsl namespace.
