How do I add a namespace prefix to each node using TXMLDocument

Question

I used the XML Binding Wizard to create a descendant of TXMLDocument. The files generated by this class would declare the namespace in the root node and create just plain, unadorned nodes for the rest of the document.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<RootNode xmlns="URL" xmlns:xsi="URL" xsi:schemaLocation="URL">
    <SomeNode>
        <AnotherNode>Value</AnotherNode>
    </SomeNode>
</RootNode>

I've had no trouble reading or validating this at all. However, the processor where these files are sent now requires each node to have the namespace prefixed in order to process files correctly.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<NS:RootNode xmlns:NS="URL" xmlns:xsi="URL" xsi:schemaLocation="URL">
    <NS:SomeNode>
        <NS:AnotherNode>Value</NS:AnotherNode>
    </NS:SomeNode>
</NS:RootNode>

How do I accomplish this with my TXMLDocument descendant? I hope it doesn't involve hand editing 10000 lines of generated code.

Answer 1

Ok, the solution took a long time to discover but was surprisingly simple.

The code generated by XML Data Binding Wizard will create xml using the default namespace. You can see this by examining the Get, Load and New functions in the generated unit. All three make calls to GetDocBinding, passing in TargetNamespace as the final parameter. TargetNamespace is a global constant string with the URI extracted from the schema or xml document you fed to the Binding Wizard.

Because TargetNamespace is assigned to the root element as the default namespace no child elements will have a prefix.

The way to do this:

FDocumentName := 
  NewXMLDocument.GetDocBinding(
    'ns:DocumentName', // <-- Just add the prefix to the root node.
    TXMLDocumentName,
    TargetNamespace) as IXMLDocumentName;

Now the root node will look like:

<ns:DocumentName xmlns:ns="URI">

And all child nodes will have the prefix when they are created.

Possible solution to the problem with multiple namespace: hooking and class helper

Answer 3

Just an addition to the answer above, sometimes you may need the namespace prefix to continue in repeating child nodes (the type you create using the Add() or Insert() functions). In that case you will need to add the prefix and colon before the child class name in the first argument of RegisterChildNode() and the ItemTag variable to match. (See example below, with "CPR:" being used as the namespace prefix)

void __fastcall TXMLeCPR_payrollInfo_employees::AfterConstruction(void)
{
  RegisterChildNode(System::UnicodeString("CPR:employee"), __classid(TXMLeCPR_payrollInfo_employees_employee));
  ItemTag = "CPR:employee";
  ItemInterface = __uuidof(IXMLeCPR_payrollInfo_employees_employee);
  Xml::Xmldoc::TXMLNodeCollection::AfterConstruction();
};

Answer 5

add namespace + prefix to XML using XSL

The accepted answer shows how XSL can be used to add namespace prefixes.

Quote:

Use:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
 xmlns:login="http://my.ns.uri">
 <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>

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

 <xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:element name="login:{name()}" namespace="http://my.ns.uri">
    <xsl:copy-of select="namespace::*"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
  </xsl:element>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
