XML to XML

In this XSLT based example, the Body part of a SOAP message is stripped from its' Envelope

With Nodinite you can allow end-users to view message payload in other formats using one or more Stylesheets.

You can use this as an example to style any XML based message into another XML message. This can be a very useful feature to help you remove sensitive information from end-users.

XSLT 

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" exclude-result-prefixes="soap">
  <xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent ="yes"/>
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="soapenv:Envelope/soapenv:Body/*"/>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="*">
    <xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:element>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="@*">
    <xsl:attribute name="{local-name()}">
      <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    </xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Input XML

The following data is an example of a SOAP message with an Envelope and a Body:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" soap:encodingStyle="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding">
	<soap:Body>
    <Orders>
      <Order state="OK">
        <Id>1337</Id>
      </Order>      
    </Orders>
	</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Output XML

If you apply the example XSLT on the Input XML, the following output is the result:

<Orders>
  <Order state="OK">
    <Id>1337</Id>
  </Order>
</Orders>
