XSLT with namespaces/schema

Question

Hi everybody !
I've a problem transforming a XML file that has a root element containing a reference to a XSD schema.
<myxml xmlns="http://www.myxml.de" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.myxml.de myxml.xsd">
The XSLProcessor does not accept the attribute in the root element but always complains that to be empty :-((.
I was told, that one of the few processors that could handle Schema and namespaces was the Oracle v2 lib.
So I'm trying to transform with the following piece of code and ORACLE v2 parser lib:
import java.io.*;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.*;
public class SimpleTrAX
public static void main( String[] args )
try
File xslIn = new File( "D:/A.xslt" );
File xmlIn = new File( "D:/B.xml" );
File xmlOut = new File( "D:/C.xml" );
// System.setProperty( "javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory", "org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl");
// System.setProperty( "javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory", "org.apache.crimson.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl");
// System.setProperty( "javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory", "org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl");
// System.setProperty( "javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory", "org.apache.crimson.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl");
// System.setProperty( "javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory", "org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl");
xmlOut.createNewFile();
TransformerFactory transFact = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
StreamSource xslStream = new StreamSource( xslIn );
StreamSource xmlStream = new StreamSource( xmlIn );
FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream( xmlOut );
StreamResult xmlResult = new StreamResult( fileOut );
Transformer trans = transFact.newTransformer( xslStream );
trans.transform( xmlStream, xmlResult );
catch (Exception e) { System.out.println( e ); }
I haven't found any attributes or properties to set the transformer or it's factory to be namespace aware. Any help or helpful hint will be highly appreciated ! Thanks in advance !
Best regards

Thanks for your quick answer !
But including the namespace which is part of the root element in file A into the transforming stylesheet (as you proposed) that should produce result file C seems to
mislead the transformer:
It now validates the root tags of the transformation script against the wrong namespace/schema:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns="http://www.myxml.de"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.myxml.de myxml.xsd"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="myxml"> <!-- Match root of source doc A -->
<root_of_result_document_C>
<!-- apply something else -->
</root_of_result_document_C>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I now get an error (comprehensible for me):
"Root element 'root_of_result_document_C' not defined in DTD/Schema"
???
