Re: RSS Transformation-- Namespace Issue?

[zo...@ca.ibm.com]

Hi Jacob,

     Yes, the problem is that channel, item, image, et al. are in the 
default namespace.  Although those elements don't have prefixes in the XML 
document, their namespaces still need to be taken into account in the 
XPath expressions in the stylesheet.

     See the following FAQ for additional information: 
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/faq.html#faq-N101B9

Thanks,

Henry

        Subject:        RSS Transformation-- Namespace Issue?

 

Hello,
 
I'm trying to transform the Slashdot RSS feed via an XSL File posted at 
IBM's DevZone:
 
http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rss
 
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-tiphdln.html?dwzone=xml
 
I'm able to pull in the feed from Slashdot easily and I'm able to grab the 
first node and output its namespace-uri as a test, but, trying to select 
any of the channels or items returns nothing:
 
[Stylesheet deleted by Henry]
 
Returns:
 
<h1>http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#</h1>
<ul></ul>
 
I'm wondering if I need to put a namespace item in my XSL sheet or 
something.
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
