XPath-validation in non-XSLT-files
by Theun Fleer 30 Oct '06

30 Oct '06

Hello, When editing XLST-files in oXygen7.2 on WinXP the XPath-expressions in the "select" and "match" attributes can be validated. When typing an incorrect XPath-expression, a wavy yellow line is shown, and an error description at the bottom of the screen; "content completion" is also an option. We are currently editing non-XSLT-files: a custom XML format with a custom namespace in which we must edit a lot of long XPath-expressions. We would like the same validation options as in the XLST-files... is this possible, and how? Kind regards, and keep up the good work! Theun Fleer Daidalos BV, The Netherlands Drs. T.

Xerces command line parsing?
by Andrew Rouner 17 Oct '06

17 Oct '06

Hello, I am looking for the right syntax and method to be able to batch-parse XML files from the command line using Xerces. I need to use Xerces as I am attempting to replicate parsing using oXygen (which has Xerces as its default parser). If anyone can send along the syntax for doing this or can point me to a resource that can help, I'd very much appreciate it. I previously used xmllint/LIBXML to do command line parsing of my TEI files, which worked well for files calling on the TEI xlite DTD. I am now dealing with files that use the full TEI and must rely on the xml catalog, i.e.: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE TEI.2 PUBLIC "-//TEI P4//DTD Main Document Type//EN" "tei2.dtd" [ <!ENTITY % TEI.XML 'INCLUDE'> <!ENTITY % TEI.mixed 'INCLUDE'> <!ENTITY % TEI.drama 'INCLUDE'> <!ENTITY % TEI.corpus 'INCLUDE'> <!ENTITY % TEI.prose 'INCLUDE'> <!ENTITY % TEI.figures 'INCLUDE'> <!ENTITY % TEI.linking 'INCLUDE'> <!ENTITY % TEI.transcr 'INCLUDE'> <!ENTITY % TEI.names.dates 'INCLUDE'> <!ENTITY % TEI.spoken 'INCLUDE'> <!ENTITY % TEI.header 'INCLUDE'> <!ENTITY % ISOlat1 SYSTEM 'http://www.tei-c.org/Entity_Sets/Unicode/iso-lat1.ent'> %ISOlat1; <!ENTITY % ISOlat2 SYSTEM 'http://www.tei-c.org/Entity_Sets/Unicode/iso-lat2.ent'> %ISOlat2; <!ENTITY % ISOnum SYSTEM 'http://www.tei-c.org/Entity_Sets/Unicode/iso-num.ent'> %ISOnum; <!ENTITY % ISOpub SYSTEM 'http://www.tei-c.org/Entity_Sets/Unicode/iso-pub.ent'> %ISOpub; ]> I need to use Xerces, because I find that the default parser in oXygen (which is Xerces) can successfully parse these files (and LIBXML does not work for files using the full TEI due to problems with the DTD). My best understanding (which may be completely off) is that to use Xerces as an XML parser in the command line, what I am essentially doing, is using the syntax to run an XML file through an XSL stylesheet (on the assumption that the source file has to validate to run successfully. I have modified a previous stylesheet that processes all TEI elements found in these documents, and I use this syntax: java com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet -x org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser source_file.xml stylesheet.xsl > /dev/null I am using Xerces as it comes with oXygen (and have not downloaded it separately). Since I am only really interested in parsing and not the output, I pipe it to /dev/null. I have the following in my bash profile for the PATH: CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/Applications/oxygen/lib/saxon.jar:\ /Applications/oxygen/frameworks/docbook/xsl/extensions/saxon653.jar.ext:/App lications/oxygen/lib/xercesImpl.jar export CLASSPATH The above command WORKS, and will pick up SOME errors, but is clearly missing others. Does anyone have any more straightforward syntax for just PARSING with Xerces, or have any ideas why some errors (I have tested) are not being reported through this process? (One possibility is that it's just checking well-formedness, not validity, which I need to test further.) Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

Problem with Oxygen on Kubuntu Dapper Dake
by Thomas Zastrow 10 Oct '06

Hi there, I can't install Oxygen 7.2 on Kubuntu Dapper Dake. There is a Java-installation and the variables JAVA_HOME and JAVA are pointing to it. After starting oxygen.sh I get the error: zastrow@schleppi:~/downloads/progs$ ./oxygen.sh Starting Installer ... java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax.swing.JOptionPane at java.lang.Class.initializeClass(libgcj.so.7) at com.install4j.runtime.installer.Installer.reportExeption(Unknown Source) at com.install4j.runtime.installer.Installer.main(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(libgcj.so.7) at com.exe4j.runtime.LauncherEngine.launch(Unknown Source) at com.install4j.runtime.Launcher.main(Unknown Source) Best, Tom -- Thomas Zastrow Seminar fuer Sprachwissenschaft Universitaet Tuebingen http://www.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/dialectometry/ Wilhelm Str. 19 D-72074 Tübingen Tel.: 07071/29-73968 Fax: 07071/29-5214

XML Schema validation broken in 7.2?
by Allison Bloodworth 10 Oct '06

10 Oct '06

Hi, Last week I upgraded (I think from Oxygen 7.1) to Oxygen 7.2 which is using Xerces 2.8.0 for schema validation. Suddenly XML instance documents that are definitely not valid are being called valid by Oxygen. I am using the red "checkmark" button for which the tool tip is "Validate Document". I am creating the files by opening a new document in Oxygen and attaching a schema that way. Documents with no content in the elements as well as documents that are just completely wrong are coming up as valid. When I validate using Xerces at the command line (java sax.Counter) I am getting the proper errors for these same documents. Additionally, I am getting the proper errors in Oxygen when I try to validate the schema itself. What could be going wrong?

RE: [oXygen-user] Macro to Strip Tags from DocBook Olink target.dbFile
by Miller, Ray (Centech) 10 Oct '06

10 Oct '06

>> I think the effect of surrounding the chapter title in an "i" element in the olink target file is intended, not a side effect as you can see in the template which generates it: <xsl:template match="chapter|appendix" mode="insert.title.markup"> <xsl:param name="purpose"/> <xsl:param name="xrefstyle"/> <xsl:param name="title"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$purpose = 'xref'"> <xsl:copy-of select="$title"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:copy-of select="$title"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> You can remove the and tags in a customization layer of the main DocBook stytlesheet which duplicates this template and modifies it by removing these tags. Apply the customization layer instead of the main DocBook stylesheet to remove the tags prior to transformations and perform the transformations at the same time (if collect.xref.targets is set to 'yes').< tags. Is this a developer oversight or an error in my usage? Ray

Macro to Strip Tags from DocBook Olink target.db File
by Miller, Ray (Centech) 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

docbook-rng-5.0b8 xsl-1.71.0 saxon-6.5.5 oxygen-7.2.0 (eclipse-3.2 plugin) When generating an olink target data file (targetdb.xml), tags and surround each chapter's element text. Would like a macro to strip the aforementioned tags from targetdb.xml subsequent to pre-processing but prior to transformations, executing automatically each time a transformation is run on the project AND the stringparm collect.xref.targets is set to 'yes' or 'only'. Currently performing this activity utilizing find/replace (ugh). I believe a site-published solution (under Documentation/Articles) addressing the removal of unwanted tags and characters (along with the macro) from a DocBook target.db document will be of interest to other oXygen/DocBook users. Advise and comments please. Ray

using automatic character conversion in XML to XML transformation
by Dever, Paul (ELS) 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

If I transform my XML document to HTML using the HTML output method oXygen automatically turns special characters into HTML character entities (e.g., a copyright symbol gets transformed into "©"). I want to use that functionality in a transformation from XML to XML using XML as an output method, but I can't figure out how to do it. Is there a way?
