Question

I’m trying to copy a xml document complete with attributes and nodes. The output does not contain attributes. fi.xml is the input, test.xsl does the transform (a mode is required in xsl). Thanks.

f1.xml
<test attr="val">
  <subtest attr2="val2"/>
</test>

test.xsl
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="document('f1.xml')" mode="abc"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="/ | @* | node()" mode="abc">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates mode="abc"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><test>
  <subtest/>
</test>

Answer 1

That stylesheet seems very odd, but try changing your xsl:apply-templates to:

<xsl:apply-templates mode="abc" select="@*|node()"/>
