Error in output when xmlns attribute is present

[Gustavo de Sá Carvalho Honorato <gu...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I'm having some problems using Xalan to make XSLT using JAXP Java API. When
xmlns attribute is not present in root element of the input xml, the output
is fine. When xmlns is present, Xalan is generating an empty output. Is
there any issue regarding this? I've been searching all over the
documentation and I could not find anything.

Thanks in advance,
Gustavo Honorato

The xmlns attribute sets the default namespace. XSLT is 
namespace-sensitive; to match namespace-qualified elements and attributes 
you must match the namespaces as well (which means using prefixes in your 
XSLT even though you used the default in the instance document, since XSLT 
1.0 has no ability to specify a default namespace for its match/select 
patterns).
