Oxygen Eclipse plugin XPath evaluator not handling default namespaces...
by John O'Shea 01 Oct '04

Hi, I've got an XML doc that looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" ?> <EXAMPLE_COMMIT_NOTICE xmlns="http://example.com/services/b2b" xmlns:example="http://example.com/services/b2b"> <Partner_ID>abcdef</Partner_ID> <File_Name>abcdef</File_Name> <Transmission_Date>abcdef</Transmission_Date> <Commit_Notice_Detail> <Order_Number>abcdef</Order_Number> <Partner_Web_Order_Number>abcdef</Partner_Web_Order_Number> <Line_Number>abcdef</Line_Number> <Product_ID>abcdef</Product_ID> <Quantity_Committed>abcdef</Quantity_Committed> <Committed_Ship_Date>abcdef</Committed_Ship_Date> </Commit_Notice_Detail> </EXAMPLE_COMMIT_NOTICE> When editing in the Oxygen XML, if I choose the XPath Expression evaluator and enter: /example:EXAMPLE_COMMIT_NOTICE/example:Commit_Notice_Detail/example:Order_Number then I get an error dialog back from the oXygen plugin: "Exception ro.sync.goto.do Prefix must resolve to a namespace: example" despite the fact that the example prefix is correctly bound to a namespace. I've tried various tricks to get an XPath query that can find elements in this document but nothing will work. I've dropping the proxy of the default namespace and trying /:EXAMPLE_COMMIT_NOTICE/:Commit_Notice_Detail/:Order_Number but it gives the same erri (with nothing after the 'Prefix must resolve to a namespace: ' message. Note, if I do something like: <?xml version="1.0" ?> <EXAMPLE_COMMIT_NOTICE xmlns="http://example.com/services/b2b" xmlns:example="http://example.com/services/b2b"> <Partner_ID>abcdef</Partner_ID> <File_Name>abcdef</File_Name> <Transmission_Date>abcdef</Transmission_Date> <Commit_Notice_Detail xmlns=""> ^^^^^^^^ <Order_Number>abcdef</Order_Number> <Partner_Web_Order_Number>abcdef</Partner_Web_Order_Number> <Line_Number>abcdef</Line_Number> <Product_ID>abcdef</Product_ID> <Quantity_Committed>abcdef</Quantity_Committed> <Committed_Ship_Date>abcdef</Committed_Ship_Date> </Commit_Notice_Detail> </EXAMPLE_COMMIT_NOTICE> and then use a query string of '//Commit_Notice_Detail' it correctly returns '/EXAMPLE_COMMIT_NOTICE[1]/Commit_Notice_Detail[1]' However, that's of no use to me - all of the elements in the document must be from the default or a named namespace. Note the posting on the Oxygen message board at http://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=21 suggests this approach (proxying the default namespace) should work. Can you let me know what I've missed, or is this a know fault with the plugin (or Xalan)?????

Validate xref when XInclude
by Sean Wheller 28 Sep '04

28 Sep '04

Hi, I can't validate xref's when using XInclude. Though as I understand it should be possible with Apache Xerces-J. Comment out xref's and all is valid. When I transform the document the xref's (uncommented), are resolved correctly. Validation returns: "An element with the identifier "docbookxsl" must appear in the document. preface.xml" Any ideas? Following is relevant info from files.

Character display problem
by T Reaves 23 Sep '04

23 Sep '04

Hello all. I have this problem of how a particular character combination is displayed. I'm using the Eclipse plugin. In an XML file I'll be typing a Java path like this: '.../model/Item' The problem is as soon as I type the '/' after the 'l', it is not displayed as 'l/' but as a single character. In the Outline view it displays correctly. Is this a know problem, and does it have a solution?

Saxon version and xsl:document
by Peter Charles 07 Sep '04

07 Sep '04

Hello, What version of saxon is distributed with Oxygen 4.2? The auto complete feature does not support xsl:document. Is that because the distributed version of saxon does not support xsl:document? Peter

Validating merged grammars
by Paul Everitt 07 Sep '04

07 Sep '04

Hi. The first example in the Relax-NG tutorial under 9.3 "Merging Grammars" looks like this: <grammar xmlns="http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0" xmlns:a="http://relaxng.org/ns/compatibility/annotations/1.0" datatypeLibrary="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-datatypes"> <define name="inline"> <zeroOrMore> <ref name="inline.class"/> </zeroOrMore> </define> <define name="inline.class"> <choice> <text/> <element name="bold"> <ref name="inline"/> </element> <element name="italic"> <ref name="inline"/> </element> </choice> </define> </grammar> However, <oxygen/> fails to validate, claiming it requires a <start> element. --Paul

Debugger Suggestions

Hello, A suggestion for the debugger: Allow users to either save or copy the results of the trace. When trying to debug why similar documents behave differently this would be an extremely useful feature. Peter
