Hi,
I am producing GML files from FME, but the writer automatically includes xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" attribute on gml:FeatureCollection element.
Can I remove this attribute from writer?
Thanks,
Ashish

Hi @ashish_m1, I don't think there is any choice in the GML writer to remove one or more of general namespace declarations (xmlns:<prefix>="<name space>") for GML documents.
A possible way I can think of is:- write the GML document with a FeatureWriter (GML format).
- read the whole document with a FeatureReader (Text File format).
- remove xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" with a StringReplacer.
- overwrite the document with another FeatureWriter (Text File format).
Hi Takashi,
Thanks for your suggestion. The line xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" was not included in my client's specification and any gml file with the line would not run on their system.
I hoped for a simple setting change that would remove the line but since there is none, I am thinking of creating an xslt and applying it to the output gml. I already have to create an xslt for some style changes.
Thanks,
Ashish
