Problems with XSLT Structure

Question

Hi,
I'm doing some XSLT mapping to transform the input XML which is coming to XI from a non-SAP application which do not have any namespace prefix. All I'm doing in the transformation is adding the namespace prefix to the xml so that XI can understand the incoming xml message. my incoming xml is in this format
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>
<response xmlns="http://www.test.com/it">
  <request_id>UNKNOWN-TEST-1181313012309</request_id>
  <request_type>CREATE_TICKET</request_type>
  <result>APPROVED</result>
  <service_provider>VERIZON</service_provider>
  <extra>
    <extra_ReqAck_AckComment>A trouble ticket has already been
                            created for this circuit</extra_ReqAck_AckComment>
    <extra_ReqAck_ackType>Request_Completed</extra_ReqAck_ackType>
    <extra_ReqAck_date>2007-06-08</extra_ReqAck_date>
    <extra_ReqAck_time>10:29:17</extra_ReqAck_time>
  </extra>
  <vendor>
    <ticket_id>CARC349201</ticket_id>
  </vendor>
</response>
And my output xml should be in the following format
  <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>
<ns1:response xmlns:ns1="http://www.test.com/it">
  <request_id>UNKNOWN-TEST-1181313012309</request_id>
  <request_type>CREATE_TICKET</request_type>
  <result>APPROVED</result>
  <service_provider>VERIZON</service_provider>
  <vendor>
    <ticket_id>CARC349201</ticket_id>
  </vendor>
</ns1:response>
Here is my xsl file to
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
   <xsl:template match="*">
<ns1:response xmlns:ns1="http://www.test.com/it">
        <request_type>
          <xsl:value-of select="request_type"/>
        </request_type>
        <service_provider>
          <xsl:value-of select="service_provider"/>
        </service_provider>
         <vendor>
           <ticket_id>
             <xsl:value-of select="ticket_id"/>
           </ticket_id>
           <ticket_status>
             <xsl:value-of select="ticket_status"/>
           </ticket_status>
         </vendor>
    </ns1:response>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When I use this stylesheet. I'm getting this response this is not adding the values to the nodes.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ns1:response xmlns:ns1="http://www.test.com/it">
  <request_type/>
  <service_provider/>
  <vendor>
    <ticket_id/>
    <ticket_status/>
  </vendor>
</ns1:response>
I would really appreciate if anyone had ever came across this problem or had found solution.
Thanks,

Hi Udo,
Here is the problem as long as I do have namespace in my input xml that's coming from non sap application the XSLT transformation is failing. I did what you have suggested and here is the style sheet.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"
  xmlns:ns1="http://www.test.com/it/app" >
     <xsl:output method="xml" version="2.0"  indent="yes"/>
     <xsl:template match="/">
     <ns1:response>
         <request_type>
          <xsl:value-of select="//request_type"/>
         </request_type>
          <result>
           <xsl:value-of select="//result" />
           </result>
           <result_reason>
           <xsl:value-of select="//result_reason"/>
           </result_reason>
           <service_provider>
          <xsl:value-of select="//service_provider"/>
           </service_provider>
         <vendor>
            <ticket_id>
             <xsl:value-of select="//ticket_id"/>
             </ticket_id>
             <ticket_status>
             <xsl:value-of select="//ticket_status"/>
             </ticket_status>
         </vendor>
      </ns1:response>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
and as I mention in the initial posting the input xml does have a name space in the response node. so what I tried is I removed the namespace from the input xml from the response node and that works. But I can't remove the namespace from the input xml since that's coming from non sap application.
Thanks,
