namespaces and <xsl:value-of>

[Rainer Herbst]

Hi *,

please help me solving the following problem:

I have an XML document containing elements like
<dir:director y xmlns:dir="http ://apache.org/cocoon/directory/2.0"
name="pressemit teilungen" lastModified="1 064833858000" date="29.09.03
13:10" size="4096" sort="name" reverse="false" requested="true ">
<dir:file name="first.xml " lastModified="1 064833858000" date="29.09.03
13:10" size="62"/>
</dir:directory>

How should I refer to these elements in
<xsl:value-of/> ?

<xsl:value-of select="//dir:file"/>
gives me an error, so what can I do?

TIA!
Rainer

Do you have a declaration for the dir prefix in the stylesheet? E.g.
on the top level element:

<xsl:styleshe et xmlns:dir="http ://apache.org/cocoon/directory/2.0" ...>
...

Do you have declared the prefix "dir" for that position of the XSL document?

You can define it for the whole stylsheet by writing
<xsl:styleshe et version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:dir="http ://apache.org/cocoon/directory/2.0" >

I supose that you've not declaret the namespace "dir" in your stylesheet
node of your XSTL. You must declare it, for instance:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:styleshe et version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:dir="http ://apache.org/cocoon/directory/2.0"[color=blue]
>[/color]
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:value-of select="//dir:file"/>

<!-- Your xstl code -->
</xsl:stylesheet>
