I have a xslt file to transform xml file to pdf using apache-fop. But I don't have all information about namespaces in my xslt. It depends on xml. I can analyze xml document in java and get all namespaces from xml. But I don't know how I can pass this namespaces from java to my xslt file and how next declare it in <xsl:stylesheet> tag. Is it possible?
I can't paste my original xslt and xml because it has sensitive data, but I prepared sample files to show my problem:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:OtherCompany xmlns:ns8="http://www.company.com/schema/SF/definition/type/test" xmlns:ns0="http://www.company.com/schema/SF/definition/type/a" xmlns:ns7="http://www.company.com/schema/SF/definition/type/b" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

I want to pass from java param xmlPathPrefix and use it in xslt file in <xsl:template> match attribute
<xsl:template match="/$xmlPathPrefix/values">
or in xsl:apply-templates select attribute
<fo:table-body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$xmlPathPrefix//*[not(contains(name(), 'Content'))]"/>
</fo:table-body>
But I get following error:
Type error evaluating ($xmlPathPrefix) in xsl:apply-templates/@select on line 38 column 75 of test.xsl: XPTY0019: The required item type of the first operand of '/' is node(); the supplied value u"ns0:OtherCompany/ns0:Changes..." is an atomic value
How I can pass xmlPathPrefix from java and use it in my xslt? I want pass example string as xmlPathPrefix
"ns0:OtherCompany/ns0:Changes"
The second problem is my namespace, the pathPrefix can be different, but local-name always the same, Example it can be:
"ns0:OtherCompany/ns0:Changes"
"ns10:OtherCompany/ns15:Changes"
"companyType:OtherCompany/companyChanges:Changes"
or more other options. When I have xslt i must declare tag in <xsl:stylesheet> example ns0, ns10, companyType etc. If I not declare it I get error. But I don't know what namespaces is declared in my xml. How I can pass it to xslt?
Example i pass
xmlPathPrefix: "ns10:OtherCompany/ns15:Changes"
and namespaces for this: ns10 and ns15
But I don't know how reach it.
Do you use an XSLT 2 processor like Saxon 9? Your XSLT code says version="2.0". If you are dealing with various namespaces then one way in XSLT/XPath 2 and later is to use a wildcard * for the namespace prefix e.g. *:OtherCompany/*:Changes will select those elements in any namespace.
To parametrize select expressions you would need to use an XSLT 3 processor like Saxon 9.8 or 9.9 and so called shadow attributes like _select and static parameters:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
exclude-result-prefixes="#all"
version="3.0">
<xsl:param name="prefix" as="xs:string" static="yes" select="'/*:root/*:foo'"/>
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates _select="{$prefix}/*:bar"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*:bar">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

You would need to use Saxon's s9api programming interface to set static parameters I think.
