I have this xml which is on schema version 3.0 http://www.test.com/Service/v3 . I need to downgrade it to version 1 http://www.test.com/Service/v1. To do that i am using a XSL to transform it.

        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
        <xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" 
            xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
            xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"
            xmlns:booga="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
            xmlns:tns="http://www.test.com/Service/v3"
            xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
            xmlns:src="http://www.ncpdp.org/schema/SCRIPT"
        > 


        <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>

        <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>


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

           </xsl:copy>

         </xsl:template>

         <xsl:template match="tns:*">
            <!-- Output a new element in the new namespace -->
            <xsl:element name="tns:{local-name()}" namespace="http://www.test.com/Service/v1">
              <!-- Copy all child attributes and nodes 
             <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/> -->
            <xsl:apply-templates  />
            </xsl:element>
          </xsl:template>

        </xsl:stylesheet>

but i get a result like this 

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
     <soapenv:Body>
      <tns:send xmlns:tns="http://www.test.com/Service/v3">
         <NS2:Message release="006" version="010" xmlns:NS2="http://www.ncpdp.org/schema/SCRIPT" xmlns:tns="http://www.test.com/Service/v3">

            <NS2:Body>
               <NS2:New>
                  <NS2:Pharmacy>
                     <NS2:Identification>
                        <NS2:ID>
                           <NS2:IDValue>01017</NS2:IDValue>
                           <NS2:IDQualifier>94</NS2:IDQualifier>
                           <NS2:IDRegion>SCA</NS2:IDRegion>
                            <NS2:IDState>CA</NS2:IDState>
                        </NS2:ID>
                         </NS2:Identification>
                         </NS2:Pharmacy>
                    </NS2:New>
            </NS2:Body>
         </NS2:Message>
      </tns:send>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

In my output XML i get this

<NS2:Message release="006" version="010" xmlns:NS2="http://www.ncpdp.org/schema/SCRIPT"   xmlns:tns="http://eps.pdxinc.com/webservice/Rxservice/v3">

Why was this added to the NS2:Message? 

xmlns:tns="http://eps.pdxinc.com/webservice/Rxservice/v3

It was not there in the input xml.

There is something which I am missing. I would really appreciate if someone could point out the issue.

What I am looking to create in the output is the following: 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <soapenv:Body>
        <tns:send xmlns:tns="http://www.test.com/Service/v1">
            <NS2:Message release="006" version="010" xmlns:NS2="http://www.ncpdp.org/schema/SCRIPT" >

                <NS2:Body>
                    <NS2:New>
                        <NS2:Pharmacy>
                            <NS2:Identification>
                                <NS2:ID>
                                    <NS2:IDValue>01017</NS2:IDValue>
                                    <NS2:IDQualifier>94</NS2:IDQualifier>
                                    <NS2:IDRegion>SCA</NS2:IDRegion>
                                    <NS2:IDState>CA</NS2:IDState>
                                </NS2:ID>
                            </NS2:Identification>
                        </NS2:Pharmacy>
                    </NS2:New>
                </NS2:Body>
            </NS2:Message>
        </tns:send>
    </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

The XSL document I am applying is adding an extra namespace xmlns:tns="http://www.test.com/Service/v3 in the NS2:Message.

Orginally the tag was :

<NS2:Message release="006" version="010" xmlns:NS2="http://www.ncpdp.org/schema/SCRIPT">

After i applied XSL it changed to :

<NS2:Message release="006" version="010" xmlns:NS2="http://www.ncpdp.org/schema/SCRIPT" xmlns:tns="http://www.test.com/Service/v3>

I don’t know where this namespace is getting added.

All I wanted was to transform xmlns:tns="http://www.test.com/Service/v3 to xmlns:tns="http://www.test.com/Service/v3 in tns:send tag.

    Try this…

    XML Input

    <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <soapenv:Body>
        <tns:send xmlns:tns="http://www.test.com/Service/v3">
            <NS2:Message release="006" version="010" xmlns:NS2="http://www.ncpdp.org/schema/SCRIPT">

                <NS2:Body>
                    <NS2:New>
                        <NS2:Pharmacy>
                            <NS2:Identification>
                                <NS2:ID>
                                    <NS2:IDValue>01017</NS2:IDValue>

                                    <NS2:IDRegion>SCA</NS2:IDRegion>
                                    <NS2:IDState>CA</NS2:IDState>

                        </NS2:Pharmacy>
                    </NS2:New>
                </NS2:Body>
            </NS2:Message>
        </tns:send>
    </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

    XSLT 1.0 (or 2.0 if you change the version)

    (Edit: Changed “tns” prefix to “djh” to illustrate how the prefix doesn’t matter.)

    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:djh="http://www.test.com/Service/v3"
    xmlns:NS2="http://www.ncpdp.org/schema/SCRIPT"
    xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <xsl:output indent="yes"/>
    <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

    <xsl:template match="@*|comment()|processing-instruction()">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="djh:*">
        <xsl:element name="{name()}" namespace="http://www.test.com/Service/v1">
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
        </xsl:element>  
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="*">
        <xsl:element name="{name()}">
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
        </xsl:element>      
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
