POM.XML dependency modification

[midinges]

I'm working on a translation of POM files. I have a POM file that has the following as the project stanza.<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">With the namespace information on the project statement my xsl does nothing. If I remove all the information from project and it looks like this <project> my xsl works as expected. What do I need to do to allow the template in the xsl to process this POM file?

Try to use a universal selector in the root. That is, instead of

<xsl:template match="/project">

try using

<xsl:template match="/*">

If that doesn't work, try this:

<xsl:template match="/{http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0}project">

Thanks for the response, neither of those solutions worked.

doing a lttle google research, i found this:

Subject: RE: how to define a namespace-prefix for null-namespaceFrom: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2005 18:23:42 -0000 In XSLT 2.0 you can definedefault-xpath-namespace="some.uri"which means that an unprefixed name in a path expression refers to names inthe some.uri namespace.However, it is not possible to bind an explicit namespace prefix to the"null namespace" (the set of names that are in no namespace). These can onlybe referenced using an unprefixed name. A nuisance, but that's the way itis.Michael Kayhttp://www.saxonica.com/

A stylesheet will not be able to access named nodes through XPath expressions in case the xnl source document has redefined the default xml namespace -- even when the same redefinition of the default namespace has een specified on the stylesheet. Solution? Remove the default namespace redefinition and use a ***named*** namespace instead. Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev.

Maybe a small example will help. Here is the xsl code stripped down.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"><xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>  <xsl:variable name="woodstoxct" select="count(//dependencies/dependency[normalize-space(groupId)='woodstox' and normalize-space(artifactId)='wstx-asl'])"/>  <xsl:template match="/ | @* | node()">	<xsl:copy>	<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>	</xsl:copy>  </xsl:template>  <xsl:template match='dependency'>	<xsl:choose>	  <xsl:when test="./groupId='woodstox' and ./artifactId='wstx-asl'">		  <xsl:call-template name="axis2dep"/>	  </xsl:when>	  <xsl:otherwise>		<xsl:copy-of select="."/>	  </xsl:otherwise>	</xsl:choose>  </xsl:template>  <xsl:template name="axis2dep">	<xsl:comment>	 found <xsl:value-of select='$woodstoxct'/> Woodstox artifact(s)	</xsl:comment>	<xsl:copy>	  <groupId>artifact group</groupId>	  <artifactId>some artifact</artifactId>	  <version>1.0</version>	  <scope>provided</scope>	</xsl:copy>  </xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>

When I run it against this xml it works and replaces the woodstox artifact

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><project>	<dependencies>		<dependency>			<groupId>woodstox</groupId>			<artifactId>wstx-asl</artifactId>		</dependency>	</dependencies></project>

If <project> is changed to have a name space as follows, it does not replace the woodstox artifact.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"	 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"		 xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">   <dependencies>		<dependency>			<groupId>woodstox</groupId>			<artifactId>wstx-asl</artifactId>		</dependency>	</dependencies></project>

Try to add this template:

<xsl:template match="/{http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0}project"><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:template>

Tryied it and got this. pom-version.xsl:29:69: Fatal Error! Prefix must resolve to a namespace: {http

[boen_robot]

Try this:

<xsl:template match="/*[local-name()='project']"><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:template>

If that doesn't work... I don't know. Read this whole page. I've got those two tips from there.
