XSLT - Add namespace to node XML

Question

I have a simply XML:

<RequestResponse>
    <RequestResult>
        <FinalResponse>
            <Message>Request inserted successfully.</Message>
            <Response>true</Response>
        </FinalResponse>
    </RequestResult>
</RequestResponse>

I use a XSLT to include FinalResponse into a CDATA (String):

<RequestResponse>    
    <RequestResult>
        <![CDATA[<FinalResponse>      
                <Message>Request inserted successfully.</Message>
                <Response>true</Response>   
        </FinalResponse>]]>
    </RequestResult>   
</RequestResponse>

Then I use another XSLT more to convert the XML to SOAP with the namespace I want:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <s:Body>
        <RequestResponse>
            <RequestResult>
                <![CDATA[
                <FinalResponse>
                <Message>Request inserted successfully.</Message>
                <Response>true</Response>
                </FinalResponse>
                ]]>
            </RequestResult>
        </RequestResponse>
    </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

I need to add this tag/namespace: xmlns="http://tempuri.org/" to the RequestResponse node, but only that node like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <s:Body>
        <RequestResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
            <RequestResult>
                <![CDATA[
                <FinalResponse>
                <Message>Request inserted successfully.</Message>
                <Response>true</Response>
                </FinalResponse>
                ]]>
            </RequestResult>
        </RequestResponse>
    </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

How can I add that element only to that node?

You misunderstand how namespaces work. In your output, the RequestResult element inherits the default namespace declared for its parent RequestResponse element. You must place both elements in the same namespace, not only the parent. — michael.hor257k

The XSLT stylesheet (http://xsltransform.net/bwdws2)

<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="2.0">

    <xsl:output cdata-section-elements="RequestResult" xmlns="http://tempuri.org/"/>

    <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="RequestResponse | RequestResponse//*">
        <xsl:element name="{name()}" namespace="http://tempuri.org/">
          <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>            
        </xsl:element>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:transform>

transforms

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <s:Body>
        <RequestResponse>
            <RequestResult>
                <![CDATA[
                <FinalResponse>
                <Message>Request inserted successfully.</Message>
                <Response>true</Response>
                </FinalResponse>
                ]]>
            </RequestResult>
        </RequestResponse>
    </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

into

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <s:Body>
        <RequestResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
            <RequestResult><![CDATA[

                <FinalResponse>
                <Message>Request inserted successfully.</Message>
                <Response>true</Response>
                </FinalResponse>

            ]]></RequestResult>
        </RequestResponse>
    </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

I tries with your xsl transformation, but it doesn't add the CDATA. Please, read my answer below

I finally got it, changing the order of transformation. Thank you very much
