feature request: use ant properties file for transformation scenarios
by Stefan Krause 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I wrote an ant build which transforms xml files via xslt. The input is driven by a database, which writes a property file and triggers ant. While debugging my stylesheets, I have to open the property file and copy the params manually to the transformation scenario params. I was wondering if you could implement a feature which reads a given property file and populates the params in the scenario? Ant file: <project name="test" default="test" basedir="."> <property name="param1" value="value1"/> ... Stylesheet: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="2.0"> <xsl:param name="param1">value1</xsl:param> ...

xinclude error for docbook block
by Bram Vogelaar 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Hello All i am trying to separate one of our docbook projects into smaller xml files using the following structure manual.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?oxygen RNGSchema="http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/5.0/rng/docbookxi.rng " type="xml"?> <book xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude " xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="5.0"> <xi:include href="parts/info.xml" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"> </xi:include> <xi:include href="parts/part1.xml" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"> </xi:include> ........ </book> info.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <info xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" version="5.0"> ....... </info> which results in the following error "E [oNVDL] element "info" from namespace "http://docbook.org/ns/ docbook" not allowed in this context" While including the info block straight in the manual.xml (copy & paste) there is no such error. Nor is this error triggered by any of the other xi:included files. could some one please point me in the right direction to x::include the info.xml file? with regards Bram

Empty Schema Element
by Christian Kosmowski 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

Hi, I have a question about Oxygen and XSD Schemas. I need to have an Element which has to be empty. No attributes and no child elements. I already tried a normal complexType without content and the following simpleType: <xs:simpleType name="Empty"> <xs:annotation> <xs:documentation> Elemts of the type »Empty« must have no content. </xs:documentation> </xs:annotation> <xs:restriction base="xs:string"> <xs:enumeration value=""/> </xs:restriction> </xs:simpleType> But in both cases i can type whatever i want to into Elements with the Type Empty. And when i am editing in such an element oxygen gives me a list of all Elements in the whole Schema. Does anyone know how to get this working? Thanks Christian -- QuinScape GmbH http://www.QuinScape.de http://www.docscape.de

Shortcut key wanted: Select element contents
by Francois Jordaan 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Two favourite shortcuts: 1. Meta-E, to wrap text in a tag 2. Ctrl-Alt-X, to remove tags Two shortcuts I crave: 1. Select the contents of an element (everything between the opening and closing tag of the element the cursor is in.) 2. Like Ctrl-Alt-X, but to delete the tag attribute under the cursor. I looked amongst the existing shortcuts, but couldn't find either. Do they exist? francois -- francois(a)isotoma.com / Isotoma, Open Source Software Consulting Tel: 01904 567349 / Mobile: 07872 394273 / Fax: 020 79006980 Skype: fjordaan / http://www.isotoma.com Postal Address: Tower House, Fishergate, York, YO10 4UA, UK Registered in England.

Saxon SA support in oXygen
by Wendell Piez 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Gentlemen, I am trying out features of schema-aware transformations. I am aware that one of the things SaxonSA is supposed to be able to do is signal errors when XPath expressions in your XSLT would resolve in empty sequences by necessity (given valid input), since the elements named would be invalid according to the given schema. (This is documented on pp 169-170 of Michael Kay's Programmers Reference, 4th ed., and elsewhere.) But I can't get this to work in oXygen. SaxonSA happily runs my transform without emitting warnings, even when I put spurious XPath in. On p 169 of the PR 4ed, Mike indicates that -val:strict has to be provided from the command line. In oXygen's Preferences, I can see how to set -val, but not -val:strict. Might that have to do with why this feature isn't working for me? This is just a guess, since Saxon does complain if input is not valid. Otherwise I'm completely in the dark. I'd be grateful for any tips. I'm still on oXygen 10; the version of SaxonSA is 9.1.0.3J.

problem validating XML with XSD
by Manuel Souto Pico 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Hi, I'm experiencing a problem trying to validate an XML produced as a back-up of a WordPress blog. I'm trying to process it with XSLT 2.0, so for that it seems I need to have a XSD schema (it doesn't like DTD). So I created a XSD schema through Document | XML Document | Learn Structure + Save Structure. I associated the XSD generated to the XML via Document | XML Document | Associate Schema. So the first two attributes are added to the root element <rss *xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" ** * * xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="VDS.2009-02-11.xsd" * xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" xmlns:excerpt="http://wordpress.org/export/1.0/excerpt/" xmlns:wp="http://wordpress.org/export/1.0/" xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" version="2.0"> and this line <?oxygen SCHSchema="VDS.2009-02-11.xsd"?> is added before the root element. Now, when I try to validate the XML document, it gives two errors: SystemID: C:\Documents and Settings\manuel\Mis documentos\Scripts\xml_to_martif\Corts_Valencianes\VDS.2009-02-11.xml Location: 28:0 Description: Cannot validate <rss>: no element declaration available URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#err-XTTE1510 SystemID: C:\Documents and Settings\manuel\Mis documentos\Scripts\xml_to_martif\Corts_Valencianes\VDS.2009-02-11.xml Location: 28:0 Description: Cannot validate <rss>: no element declaration available URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#err-XTTE1510 and the bottom of the interface shows the message "Validation - in progress" but I wait and it takes forever, it never ends. After a while, I get another error message: Please restart after allocating more memory to oxygen. For this modify the parameter -Xmx in the startup script, for example -Xmx700m. In case you were running a diff tool when this problem occurred you can try to use another algorithm next time. For more details see the 'Performance problems' and 'Setting a parameter in the startup script' sections of the User Manual. If you just want to inspect the file, please use the Large File Viewer available from the Tools menu. Any help? Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug? I tried validating another simpler, shorter file and it works fine. Kind regards, Manuel
