[xquery-talk] Namespace conflict ?

[Leo Studer]

Hello

I use the following query with Saxon-EE xQuery 9.5.1.5 in Oxygen.

for $i in doc('FitnessCenter.xml')//*

return rename node $i as QName('http://www.gym.com', local-name($i))


on the following file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8”?>

<FitnessCenter xmlns="http://www.mygym.com">

<Member Level="platinum">

<Name>Jeff</Name>

<FavoriteColor>lightgrey</FavoriteColor>

</Member>

<Member Level="gold">

<Name>David</Name>

<FavoriteColor>lightblue</FavoriteColor>

</Member>


</FitnessCenter>

and get the following error: new name conflicts with existing namespace binding


I thought the function local-name() produces an output without namespace binding? Can anyone explain?

Thanks in advance
Leo

You are completely right. The problem is that your original document
uses the default namespace "http://www.mygym.com", and your query uses
"http://www.gym.com". In other words, the error is raised because the
namespace binding of your target name conflicts with the existing
namespace binding.

Here is a recursive approach to change the default namespace of a document:
______________________________________

declare function local:update($root as node(), $ns as xs:string) {
if($root instance of element()) then (
element { QName($ns, local-name($root)) } {
$root/@*,
for $node in $root/node()
return local:update($node, $ns)
}
) else (
$root
)
};

let $ns := 'http://www.gym.com'
let $root := doc("FitnessCenter.xml")/*
let $updated := local:update($root, $ns)
return replace node $root with $updated
______________________________________

Hope this helps,
Christian

This works

<FitnessCenter>

</FitnessCenter>

This not

declare namespace gym='http://www.mygym.com';

let $i:=(doc("FitnessCenter.xml")//gym:Name)[1]

return rename node $i as QName('http://www.gym.com', "Name”)

Why should that conflict?

Hi Leo,

the reason is that the XML document in your first example does not
have any namespace; so there won't be any conflicts. Instead, the new
namespace will be assigned to the addressed element.

This is different in the second case. The specification [1] says that
"If the namespace binding of $QName conflicts with any namespace
binding in the namespaces property of $target, a dynamic error is
raised [err:XUDY0023].". This is why an error is raised if a namespace
already exists.

Hope this helps,
Christian

A namespace binding is a (prefix, uri) pair, so when you prefix the name there is a new (prefix, uri) pair which doesn't confllct with any existing (prefix, uri) pair. Does that clarify?

Thank you Michael. In this view, changing the default namespace, the pair (“”,uri1) to (“”, uri2) is a potential conflict, I can see that.
However, adding a default namespace when no namespace is defined - in the (prefix, uri) view, I would see that as changing (“”,””) to (“”, uri1) - seems quite similar to me...

Don’t worry, I was just intrigued ;-)

Is the new namespace really the same as the old, or is that a typo?

If the new namespace is different, say 'http://www.gym.com/2', then there's a problem, because an element can't contain both the namespace declarations xmlns='http://www.gym.com/2' and 'http://www.gym.com'.

I have to admit my memory of the detail of XQuery Update is very hazy, I haven't done any work in this area for several years, so I'll have to refresh it, but it would be nice first to have confirmation of whether the question is correct as written.
