XSLT standard copy template losing attributes

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to perform what I have read is the simplest XSLT task possible.

The task is to copy all XML to an output document while suppressing certain tags under certain conditions.

What I have noticed is that the attributes of my nodes are being lost.

For example, within my XML output I have a tag <InstdAmt Ccy='EUR'>1000</InstdAmt>.

Once the template below has been applied all tags are copied but the "Ccy" attribute is lost.

Could anyone provide some insight into what I am doing wrong...

<xsl:stylesheet

  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

  version="1.0">

  <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="no" indent="yes"/>

  <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

  <xsl:template match="node()|@*">

    <xsl:copy>

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

    </xsl:copy>

  </xsl:template>

Have found the solution to this.

The issue lies in the difference between deep and shallow copy in XSLT.

Have begun using deep copy and am getting desired results.
