Ant XSL: inserting unwanted attributes
Hi all, my first post here, from a relative newbie, so hopefully my
question isn't too off-base.
I'm running an Ant build using <xslt> that reads an XML file, makes a few
changes using the specified XSL, and outputs to another XML file, which,
except for the changes I'm making in the XSL, should be identical to the
source.
The problem is that unwanted attributes often appear in the output XML. For
example:
<choicetable> <!-- in the source document -->
becomes
<choicetable keycol="1"> <!-- in the output document -->
and
<codeblock> <!-- source -->
becomes
<codeblock xml:space="preserve"> <!-- output -->
There's nothing in my XSL that's inserting these attributes. Any idea
what's going on? Thanks.

I don't know how you would do it in Ant, but this might be useful:

Yes I'm using DTD's. Sorry to be slow here, but which XML parser? Is it
something in Ant that I can control?

Does your XML use a DTD/Schema? Does that DTD/Schema have defaults?
It is not the XSL, it is the XML parser.

Not sure I agree with that at all...
I am using the XSLT task to convert Ant scripts/Subversion logs to HTML...
Not sure why Ant would add attributes. If you are using XSLT to convert, Ant is certainly not going to add attributes for you...
Has nothing to do with Ant.

Have you tried using xalan-j? I've used the cmd line to do validation in the past, might be of some help to you.
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/commandline.html
basically:
>java -cp C:\...\xalan-j_2_7_1\xalan.jar;C:\...\xalan-j_2_7_1\xml-apis.jar;C:\...\xalan_2_7_1\serializer.jar;C:\...\xalan-j_2_7_1\xercesImpl.jar org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN some.xml -XSL results.xsl -out some.out.put
There is this notion of grammer pools that might do what you're using <xmlcatalog> for, but I'm not sure how/if that works from the cmd line.
Hope this helps,

So, have you tried to run your XSLT outside of Ant? Be interesting to see
if you get the same results...

Hard to say -- one of the reasons I'm using Ant is the <xmlcatalog>
function, which allows me to pull in all of the DTDs I need. I couldn't
figure out how to do that with Saxon calls. So it's possible that yes, this
may have nothing to do with Ant.
Thanks for all your suggestions.

Sorry, been fighting being sick...
However, I don't recall seeing mention of default values... Just the resultant document has unwanted attributes added...
So, if this is in fact that situation...I'm confused about the posting to this list... Have you tried to execute your XSLT outside Ant? If so and the result is the same...probably the wrong list to submit questions...
Sorry, not trying to be a jerk...but based on what I read - it lead me to believe that the issue was somehow related to the XSLT task...

As I wrote previously, the XML parser is using the DTD to fill in the
default attributes/values. Nothing to do with Ant or XSL -- basic XML.

I do a fair bit of XSLT/XSD work related to an ESB at work.
Is it possible for me to get a copy of your XSLT so I can review it?

Just curious, does your XSLT have an output element in it? For example:
<xsl:output method = "xml" version = "1.0" indent = "yes"/>
