XSL validation error in eclipse

[nicechester]

Hi, I'm really novice in XML/XSLT stuff and appreciate you for this nice job.
The little problem I have is my eclipse XSL validator kept complaining XPath error on following line

<xsl:variable name="ns-uri" select="./namespace::*[name()=$prefix]"/>

Do you know how to resolve this?
Thanks

Hi, I'm also a novice in XML/XSL but after half a day learning XSL I found the problem:
namespace axis is deprecated since XML Path Language (XPath) 2.0 (Second Edition) (see https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath20/#dt-in-scope-namespaces). If you change the first lines

<xsl:stylesheet 
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="2.0"
 xmlns:wadl="http://wadl.dev.java.net/2009/02"
 xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
 xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
>

to

<!--changed version attribute-->
<xsl:stylesheet 
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"
 xmlns:wadl="http://wadl.dev.java.net/2009/02"
 xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
 xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
>

then the validator is not complaining any more but I don't know if some functionality is not working then any more, too. This has to be checked carefully. I will check this out next week.

Testcases

• Firefox is transforming the example equally with option version="1.0" or version="2.0".
• Eclipse is not complaining about any syntax errors with option version="1.0" but complains with option version="2.0".

Possible solution approaches

• change to version="1.0",
• use something like fn:namespace-uri-for-prefix instead of using namespace axis.

That's it from my side. Have fun with it.
