Question

I am struggling with what should be a simple XSL: Copy the updateResponse from the message below (note: I need XPATH 1.0 syntax for my integration system compatibility):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns="urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com" xmlns:n="urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com">
    <soapenv:Body>
        <updateResponse>
            <result>
                <id>001S000000J1Bu0IAF</id>
                <success>true</success>
            </result>
        </updateResponse>
    </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

I simply want the result structure to be:

<updateResponse xmlns="urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com">
    <result>
        <id>001S000000J1Bu0IAF</id>
        <success>true</success>
    </result>
</updateResponse>

I am able to copy the soap objects, but am unsuccessful in copying the children of the soapenv:Body element. The first copy-of works for Body, but the second does not resolve the XPATH. My XMLSPY tool xpath query editor says the xpath is valid, but the XSL does not resolve.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xmlns:urn="enterprise.soap.sforce.com" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="soapenv" result-prefix="foo"/>
    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="/soapenv:Envelope/soapenv:Body/urn:updateResponse"/>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="/soapenv:Envelope/soapenv:Body/urn:updateResponse">
        <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Answer 1

Your namespaces are mismatched between your data and your stylesheet, that seems to be the only problem.

In your stylesheet document, change this:

xmlns:urn="enterprise.soap.sforce.com"

to this:

xmlns:urn="urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com"

Then it will match the declared namespaces in your original input file.
