Live XSLT/XProc message output?
by Jostein Austvik Jacobsen 06 May '13

06 May '13

When running XProc scripts and/or XSLT transformations, the cx:message and xsl:message outputs appear only after the script/transformation is complete. I would like to view the messages while the script/transformation is running since they can take quite some time to run and the messages indicates the progress. Is it possible to enable some kind of "live message output mode"? Jostein

Difference between incomplete and incorrect
by Mark Baker 02 May '13

02 May '13

I'm writing a book in DocBook. It is the first time I have used oXygen to write in a schema that I did not create myself, and I am therefore relying a lot more than I normally do on the cues that the editor gives me. One of those cues are the validation errors. The problem is, they are all signaled with RED. That makes sense if you have entered something illegal, but most of the time they appear because you have begun to create a complex structure and that structure is currently incomplete. From an author's point of view, that's not an error, I just haven't finished yet. Where oXygen can generate the whole structure, it does, so no error is shown, but there are many cases where it can't because what is required is one of one or more options. In these cases, the structured does not become legal until the author adds additional elements. The thing is, RED means stop, but the author, in this case should continue. RED means you did something wrong, but in these cases, the author simply hasn't finished yet. I find the editor is constantly slowing me down by throwing up these errors that I have to analyse each time to determine if I need to go on or if I need to back up. When I design a schema, I try to avoid creating these kinds of structures, for just this reason, but sometimes they cannot be avoided. My question is, is there a way, and do folks think it is desirable, to present a different cue for incomplete structures than for erroneous ones. At minimum, use a different color, such as yellow, for incomplete. Ideally, find some way to indicate that the author is on the right track and needs to continue. Thoughts? Mark

webhelp search not finding some words
by Shawn McKenzie 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

We are testing the webhelp feature of Oxygen 14.2. Mostly it seems really good. The search feature seems great: fast, no server-side requirements, hightlighting, etc. But in quick testing we have found a few words that are in the content that don't turn up in search results: 'dashboard', 'account', 'define' and 'definition'. The words are in topics and generated index files seem to properly include the terms (index-1.js, htmlFileInfoList.js). Anyone know what could be going on? We are a little worried as we don't know how widespread the problem may be.

Hi, I have written some saxon extension functions which support XML Schema assertions. Is there any way to add the jar containing those functions such that I can test them in Oxygen? Thanks Peter Rushforth

MarkLogic and OxygenXML integration
by Jakob Fix 24 Apr '13

24 Apr '13

Hi, We're using OxygenXML to write Xquery files for MarkLogic Server. We have a transformation scenario that connects to the XDBC server running on MarkLogic. For "normal xquery files" this works fine, i.e. I get auto-completion, parsing and error display and I can execute the file. However, with "module xquery files" we have a problem: * by nature, they cannot be executed, and we get a constant error message at the bottom of the screen E [test-db] XDMP-EVALLIBMOD: xdmp:eval(...) -- Cannot evaluate library module: * but if we don't link them to the transformation scenario, we don't have auto-complete and all the other goodies. Any idea whether that's just a configuration issue, or maybe an RFE? Thanks in advance, Jakob.

Oxygen for creating Drupal content?
by Tony Graham 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

I'm curious whether anybody has any experience in using Oxygen (either with Java Web Start or as an applet) for creating XML content -- 'entities' in Drupal-speak -- to be managed by a Drupal 7 CMS? Creating a locked-down Oxygen JWS [2] or applet [3] distribution with a single framework and any required extra jars seems simple enough, but getting Drupal to handle XML as XML doesn't seem to be as well documented for Drupal 7 as it was for Drupal 6 [1], and getting content in and out of Drupal seems to only be well defined for its native node types. As such, I have no great expectation that it can be done but would be interested to hear if anyone has managed it.

Support for editing xml:id / pointer attributes
by Peter Boot 19 Apr '13

19 Apr '13

Hi, When entering an attribute with a pointer datatype, oXygen's content completion suggests the xml:id's defined in the document, and that is very useful. Still, in cases where documents have to contain lots of pointers, editing those pointers remains an error-prone and unpleasant activity. Two things that would help: - underlining or highlighting the element that the current element points to. The same way that oXygen now highlights the closing tag when I click an opening tag, oXygen could show the element that is being pointed at. - a new view which shows all xml:id values assigned in the document (sorted in document order or by value). This will help especially when having to assign xml:id attribute values for new elements. (A self-updating xpath results view would go some way towards this, except that this takes up lots of space on the screen). Thanks, Peter Boot

oxygen does not follow Mac alias
by Tara Athan 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

I set up an alias in the Mac finder to point to some schemas that are imported into another (Relax NG) schema. The importing schema does not validate - it doesn't seem to follow the alias. System ID: /Users/taraathan/Repositories/.../trunk/schemas/relaxng/a.rnc Main validation file: /Users/taraathan/Repositories/.../trunk/schemas/relaxng/a.rnc Engine name: Jing Severity: error Description: FileNotFoundException - /Users/taraathan/Repositories/.../trunk/schemas/relaxng/c/modules/b.rnc (Not a directory) Is there a setting to enable alias-following, or is this a bug? I suppose I can go to the command line and make a symbolic link, but I was hoping for a convenient GUI option here. Thanks, Tara

Xquery Update magic comment in Oxygen
by Nicolas BUONOMO 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

Hi, I send you a some code to illustrate a strange behavior with Xquery update. The code is as simple as possible to illustrate my purpose. I’ve placed a Xquery update function in a Xquery module (module.xql), this function is then called from a query (request.xquery). when I execute this code within OxygenXml, it return me the error : Engine name: Saxon-EE XQuery 9.4.0.4 Severity: error Description: Node to be deleted is not an updateable node URL: http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/javadoc/net/sf/saxon/trans/SaxonError… unless I add in the query a comment like (: copy modify :), in this case, the code work fine! I have tried to execute this sample from the Saxon command line : $ java -cp /usr/local/lib/oxygen-xml/lib/saxon9ee.jar net.sf.saxon.Query -update:on request.xquery No license file found - running with licensable features disabled Error SXUP0081: Target node of insert expression is not updateable at mod:transform-update-test() (file:/home/nicolas/git-clones/xquery-dev/src/xquery-update/modify-copy-bugs/request.xquery#4) Query processing failed: Run-time errors were reported I’ve got a error with or without the comment (: copy modify :), and the execution is ok when I had the option -tree:linked on the command line, with or without the comment. $ java -cp /usr/local/lib/oxygen-xml/lib/saxon9ee.jar net.sf.saxon.Query -update:on -tree:linked request.xquery No license file found - running with licensable features disabled <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><modify-copy-bugs><hello>world</hello> </modify-copy-bugs> I work with Oxygen Version : XML Editor 14.2, build 2013021115 on Ubuntu 12.04.
