Change part of SOAP envelope with XSLT

Question

I'm wondering if it's possible to change part of the SOAP envelope using XSLT. The reason for me to amend only part of it is because the remaining is a dynamic response.

I had below XML message:

<SOAP-ENV:Body>
      <xyz:TheResponse Status="S" xmlns:xyz="namespace">
         <Hdr>
            <Sndr>
               ...
            </Sndr>
         </Hdr>
         <Command>
            ...
         </Command>
         <Data>
            ...
         </Data>
      </xyz:TheResponse>
   </SOAP-ENV:Body>

And I'm using below XSLT:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:tns="namespace">
    <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
    <xsl:template match="/SOAP-ENV:Body">
    <abc:SomeServiceResp xmlns:abc="SomePackage.SOAP.SomeService">
    <xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
    </abc:SomeServiceResp>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The result of the XSLT is as below:

<SOAP-ENV:Body>
    <abc:SomeServiceResp xmlns:abc="SomePackage.SOAP.SomeService" xmlns:tns="namespace">
              <xyz:TheResponse Status="S" xmlns:xyz="namespace">
                 <Hdr>
                    <Sndr>
                       ...
                    </Sndr>
                 </Hdr>
                 <Command>
                    ...
                 </Command>
                 <Data>
                    ...
                 </Data>
              </xyz:TheResponse>
    </abc:SomeServiceResp>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>

I got the expected result in which it's adding in this 1 line in my response <abc:SomeServiceResp xmlns:abc="SomePackage.SOAP.SomeService" xmlns:tns="namespace".

However, I intend to change the second line:

<xyz:TheResponse Status="S" xmlns:xyz="namespace"> into

<tns:TheResponse Status="S" xmlns:tns="namespace"> leaving the 'Status' as it is as it's a dynamic response.

Does anyone have any idea how I can work this out?

Answer 1

How about changing the template to match TheReoponse and then do an explicit namespace cast like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet 
    version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:tns="namespace1"
    xmlns:SOAP-ENV="SOAP"
    xmlns:xyz="namespace">

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


    <xsl:template match="/SOAP-ENV:Body">
      <xsl:copy>
        <abc:SomeServiceResp xmlns:abc="SomePackage.SOAP.SomeService">
          <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </abc:SomeServiceResp>
      </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="xyz:TheResponse">

      <tns:TheResponse xmlns:tns="namespace">
        <xsl:attribute name="Status">
          <xsl:value-of select="@Status"/>
        </xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
      </tns:TheResponse>

    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="*">
      <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:apply-templates />
      </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
