Displaying quotes
by Thomas Zastrow 24 May '07

24 May '07

Hello, I have XML-files with "-quotes in the content of elements. If I open such a file, Oxygen always displays them as HTML-codes &quote; Is it possible to change that behavior, so that the original " are shown? Thanks.

ADVICE: Validation, XInclude, thread order
by Paul Everitt 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

My apologies, this is going to sound pretty weird. Background ------------------- I'm on a project that is using oXygen quite heavily to manage the "front end" of a web system. The site is organized by packages of screens. Each screen has local XML data modeling what the back-end should provide. Once modeled, the back-end developers implement something to match that model of the screen data. We then validate (RNG+Schematron) that the connection is as expected. During the course of this, I've started using lots of oXygen facilities to make things more productive. In this case, I have a master XML document with XIncludes to all the screens in the system. A transformation scenario converts this into a new output document with all the XIncludes merged, and with the PIs for the the RNG/SCH. People on the project can then do something like a unit test: open this master document, click the red play button, then click the red check button to validate all remote screens. In fact, since we can cheat and do add/edit/delete via a URL, they can validate form responses. And thus the problem... Problem ------------------- In my test scenario, order matters. I need to create a sample folder, add some documents to it, validate those documents, then delete them. All this is done by URL parameters on the XInclude (yes, this is cheating on GET.) If the delete happens before the add, though...well, it doesn't work. Unfortunately, I think XInclude happens via threads. Thus, the order entries appear in the XML document doesn't mean order of operation, and I delete something before it is added. I've thought about splitting the XML document up into a test_setup.xml, test.xml, and test_teardown.xml sequence. But unfortunately, I'd wind up with several setups and teardowns, based on containment. The only think I can think of is to have one document per "test", and make people run them one at a time. Which would suck. Or, have a multi-step transform scenario, and use XSLT document() to assemble all the screens linearly, instead of XInclude. Any ideas? --Paul

Using Custom Parser With XSLT Processors
by W. Eliot Kimber 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

In order to do XSLT processing with schema PSVI information (in particular, attribute defaults), I have created a little SAX parser factory for Xerces that turns on all the schema stuff. I can then use this with, for example, Saxon, to do schema-aware XSLT (for example, DITA-aware processing that depends on the class= attribute). I'm trying to figure out how to integrate this parser with Oxygen so that I can run my transforms from within Oxygen. I tried adding the necessary JVM arg to the oxygen INI file adding the library with the parser factory class to the classpath, but it didn't seem to do anything--I suspect that the XSLT process needs it's own JVM args spec, but the only thing I saw as a place to specify a transformer factory (I can do if I have to but then I'm looked into a specific version of Saxon, for example). Have I missed something or am I going about this the wrong way? Thanks, Eliot -- W. Eliot Kimber Professional Services Innodata Isogen 8500 N.

Replace Java help with Windows help
by Sorin Ristache 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Dear list members, For the Windows install kit of oXygen we consider replacing the Java help bundle which is opened by pressing the F1 key or by going to menu Help -> Help with a native Windows bundle (a CHM file) with the same content. Of course the F1 key will continue to open the bundle at a specific help page. We would like to remove the Java help jar file from the Windows installation and replace it with the CHM file instead of including both the jar file and the CHM file. This avoids increasing the size of the Windows install kit. Without the Java help jar file the Dynamic Help View does not work any more as it loads the help pages that it must display from this jar file. Do you think that removing the Dynamic Help View from oXygen on Windows is an acceptable price for replacing the Java help dialog with a native Windows help package? Regards, Sorin http://www.oxygenxml.com

Hi there, I'm wondering which FOP-version is included into oXygen 8.1? 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

Re: Oxygen hanging at startup - Requested files
by Sorin Ristache 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Hello, Thank you for the files. There is no problem with the content of the com.oxygenxml folder. The delay occurs when oXygen creates the file chooser dialog component of Java Swing and when oXygen sets the current directory in this component to D:\Documents and Settings\buschp\My Documents. Did you retarget your My Documents folder to a network drive? Are other network drives mapped to your file system but there is no connection to these drives? Does oXygen start up normally if you add the parameter -Duser.home=C:\temp\folder to the java command line in oxygen.bat and start oXygen again with the oxygen.bat script?

Oxygen hanging at startup
by Busch Paul 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Hi all, I had a working installation of Oxygen 8.0 with JVM 1.5.9 on Windows XP. When I decided to upgrade to Oxygen 8.1 I also wanted to upgrade my JVM to version 6. I uninstalled Oxygen, JDK and JRE. Afterwards I installed JDK 6 (which includes JRE 6) and Oxygen 8.1. Since this installation I have not been able to start any of the Oxygen applications. The splash screen appears, says "loading application" and hangs at 2%. Processor usage goes up to 100% and I have to kill the process. I read in the forums that changing the JVM might help. Well, I have tried every combination of Oxygen versions 8.0 and 8.1 with JVM version 1.5.9, 1.5.11 and 6 now but the problem persists. Even the combination of Oxygen 8.0 and JVM 1.5.9 that worked before fails. What am I missing? Best regards Paul

Directory comparison
by Owen Rees 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

I am using 'compare directories' and have set the preference to "Compare files by: content". I have set the file comparison algorith to "XML Accurate" but this seems to apply only to the file comparison itself and not to whether or not the files are listed as different in the directory comparison window. Is there a way to apply the selected file comparison algorithm to determine if the files show as different in the compare directories window? I know it will take some time if you choose one of the more expensive algorithms and there are a lot of files but I would find this very useful. -- Owen Rees Hewlett Packard Laboratories, Bristol, UK

Q: XML/XSL URLs and cross-platform transformation scenarios
by Paul Everitt 08 Feb '07

08 Feb '07

I'm on a project where I manage a .xpr project file for a group of people on a team, putting in SVN to distribute changes. Everything is working well except for one small detail. I configure the transformation scenario using something like this as the Output -> Save As URL: ${pdu}/tmp/xxxoutput.html I'm on OS X and that works fine, but the forward slash doesn't work so well on Windows. Those folks then "fix" it, using a backslash, and then it breaks for me. Is there any chance that oXygen can normalize the slash in the URL? --Paul
