I am trying to transform an xml file with xsl stylesheet into html.

this is the java

TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
            Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(classLoader.getResourceAsStream("driving.xsl")));
            StreamResult drivingHtml = new StreamResult(new StringWriter());
            transformer.transform(new StreamSource(classLoader.getResourceAsStream("driving.xml")), drivingHtml);
            System.out.println(drivingHtml.getWriter().toString());

this is some of the xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<user xmlns="http://notreal.org/ns1" xmlns:poi="http://notreal2.org/ns2">
    <address type="primary">
        <street>1031 Court St.</street>
        <city>Monhegan, NY</city>
    </address>

    <address type="secondary">
        <street> Elm St.</street>
    </address>

this is the xsl:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:template match="/">
        <html>
            <head>
            <title>User</title>
            </head>
             <body>
                <p>Detailed Addresses</p>
                <xsl:apply-templates select="/user/address"/>
             </body>
         </html>
    </xsl:template>

     <xsl:template match="address">
        <table>
            <th>Primary</th>
            <th>Secondary</th>
            <tr>
                          <td>
                    <xsl:value-of select="address" />
                           </td>
                 </tr>
            </table>
     </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

when i run that, i get the html from the root template match, but nothing from the template matching address. i’ve tried other variations of templates, and instead of getting at least the basic html, i just get the entire contents of xml file ouputted.

    Check your namespace or or modify your XML to something like the following one to add a namespace-prefix:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<user xmlns:a="http://notreal.org/ns1" xmlns:poi="http://notreal2.org/ns2">
  <address type="primary">
      <street>1031 Court St.</street>
      <city>Monhegan, NY</city>
  </address>

  <address type="secondary">
      <street> Elm St.</street>
  </address>
</user>
