    copied!<p>An XSLT-newbie problem: I need to substitute a text value in XML-file. All other nodes must be left unchanged. Here's my input file (in.xml):</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;root&gt; &lt;level1 attr1="val1"&gt; &lt;level2&gt;in&lt;/level2&gt; &lt;/level1&gt; &lt;/root&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here's my XSLT-transformation (subst.xsl):</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="/"&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates /&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="//node()"&gt; &lt;xsl:copy&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates /&gt; &lt;/xsl:copy&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="/root/level1/level2/text()"&gt;out&lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt; </code></pre> <p>I run it with the following Ant-script (build.xml):</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;project name="test" default="test" basedir="."&gt; &lt;target name="test"&gt; &lt;xslt style="subst.xsl" in="in.xml" out="out.xml" /&gt; &lt;/target&gt; &lt;/project&gt; </code></pre> <p>And here's what I get (out.xml):</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;&lt;root&gt; &lt;level1&gt; &lt;level2&gt;out&lt;/level2&gt; &lt;/level1&gt; &lt;/root&gt; </code></pre> <p>Attribute "attr1" of "level1" is missing.</p> <p>I would be very grateful if anyone</p> <ul> <li>tell me <strong>what's wrong with subst.xsl</strong></li> </ul> <p>OR</p> <ul> <li>give me an idea how to force xslt-processor <strong>just copy non-matched nodes</strong> to output file and to do it by hand (which is in my case error-prone).</li> </ul>
