Customizing footers in output PDF
by Ethan Metsger 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Hi, all. I confess that I'm something of an XSLT newbie. I'm working on customizing the output footers for our PDF documentation, and I'm having a difficult time of selecting the appropriate elements using XSLT. I'm trying to use the pagesetup.xsl stylesheet as a template, and I've been doing some work trying to construct the appropriate <xsl:value-of> selection. It has been somewhat difficult to use what should be a very simple selection: <xsl:value-of select="book/info/productname"/> The problem is that "book" no longer lives in the default namespace, but (it seems) in the "d" namespace: <xsl:stylesheet exclude-result-prefixes="d" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" I've tried removing the "exclude-result-prefixes" item and trying several variations on the above value-of query: <xsl:value-of select="d:book/info/productname"/> <xsl:value-of select="d:/book/info/productname"/> <xsl:value-of select="d:book/d:info/d:productname"/> <xsl:value-of select="d:productname"/> And the like. I know that the rule is being triggered because I'm getting textual output in the resulting PDF. But so far I'm mystified about how to go about modifying the header with the product name and version. I am nearly certain the issue is namespace related, because I'm able to get xsltproc to transform the xml file using pretty trivial xsl. I've attached both. I ran: xsltproc test.xsl 00_XBinder_Master.xml I'm using Saxon with Oxygen for the transformation. Best, Ethan Metsger -- Objective Systems, Inc.

switch off: auto self-standing tag function
by Takako Kato 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Dear list, In my xsl, in my header, I have a link to java script file, which cannot be a self-standing tag: <SCRIPT language="Javascript1.2" src="../java/menu_desc.js" type="text/javascript"></SCRIPT> Every time I transform a xml file, however, the Oxygen automatically change the above link into: <SCRIPT language="Javascript1.2" src="../java/menu_desc.js" type="text/javascript"/>. I want to switch off this function, i.e, the function, which change the empty tags into self-standing tag automatically. Could anybody teach me how to do this, please/ Thanks very much.

What is better: bold the names or bold the values?
by George Cristian Bina 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

Hi, We need your feedback on one of the oXygen 10.1 features. We implemented a new XML Schema editor where XML Schemas can be edited visually. The properties of the selected component are available in a side view (Attributes view). Now, some attributes are specified by the user, some other have default values. For marking the specified ones we though of two possibilities: - bold the attribute names as you can see in http://www.oxygenxml.com/update/boldNames.jpg or - bold the values, as you can see in http://www.oxygenxml.com/update/boldValues.jpg Do you have a preference for any of these? Best Regards, George -- George Cristian Bina <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com

How to switch off automatic generation of attributes in XSL [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
by John.Hockaday＠ga.gov.au 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

Hi, My friend and colleague sent me some XSL which he asked me to validate the output XML. The output includes namespaces for the XSDs but also some of the namespaces that he used for functions that generated some of the element content. For example, xmlns:util="java:java.util.UUID" to generate a UUID for the gmd:fileIdentifier element. If he removes these namespaces from the XSL of course the transformation fails. If he includes them the transformation is successful but I don't see how to get rid of the namespaces and attributes for the unwanted namespaces in the output XML. For example I don't want the xmlns:dif, xmlns:fn, xmlns:util namespaces as attributes in the root element and I also don't want the xmls:srv attribute in the elements. How do I get rid of this content? Thanks. John Here is the head of the XSL: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:gco="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gco" xmlns:gmd="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd" xmlns:gts="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gts" xmlns:gsr="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gsr" xmlns:gss="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gss" xmlns:gmx="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmx" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:util="java:java.util.UUID" xmlns:dif="http://gcmd.gsfc.nasa.gov/Aboutus/xml/dif/" xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/02/xpath-functions" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd/gmd.xsd http://www.opengis.net/gml http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gml/gml.xsd http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink http://www.isotc211.org/2005/xlink/xlinks.xsd"> <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" indent="yes" media-type="text/plain"/>   <xsl:template match="dif:DIF">  <gmd:MD_Metadata xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:gmd="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd" xmlns:gco="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gco" xmlns:gts="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gts" xmlns:gsr="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gsr" xmlns:gss="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gss" xmlns:gmx="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmx" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd/gmd.xsd http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gco http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gco/gco.xsd http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gts http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gts/gts.xsd http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gsr http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gsr/gsr.xsd http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gss http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gss/gss.xsd"> <gmd:fileIdentifier> <gco:CharacterString> <xsl:variable name="uid" select="util:toString(util:randomUUID())"/> <xsl:value-of select="$uid"/> </gco:CharacterString> </gmd:fileIdentifier> ...

Preprocessing Xquery
by Paul Ryan 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Our group has run into a limitation with xquery that has pushed us to create a preprocessor for xquery and the one downfall to this approach is that our tools (eclipse with oxygen) now don't support the xqueries as-is. We were wondering if there is a recommended way for creating a plugin (java) for oxygen that can preprocess the xquery prior to passing it off to the debugger or xquery instance (such as eXist). Thank you, Paul Ryan Email pryan(a)infotrustgroup.com<mailto:pryan@infotrustgroup.com>

XML Spec framework catalog
by Florent Georges 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Hi, In the catalog for the XML Spec framework, one can read the following rule (that's actually the only rule): <rewriteSystem systemIdStartString="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/06/" rewritePrefix="./"/> While in the DTD (it seems all other schemas have been generated from the DTD,) there is the following statement: TYPICAL INVOCATION: # <!DOCTYPE spec PUBLIC # "-//W3C//DTD Specification V2.10//EN" # "http://www.w3.org/2002/xmlspec/dtd/2.10/xmlspec.dtd"> So I wonder if the URIs are actually in sync. Shouldn't the catalog contain instead the following rule: <rewriteSystem systemIdStartString="http://www.w3.org/2002/xmlspec/dtd/2.10/" rewritePrefix="./"/> Besides this point, if I am right, rewriteSystem is not suitable for stylesheet URI resolution. So shouldn't we have to add the corresponding rewriteURI rule too? (whatever the URI actually is) Regards, -- Florent Georges http://www.fgeorges.org/

"<?oxygen RNGSchema" URI on different systems
by Florent Georges 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

Hi, I am editing an XML file using the XML Spec document type. So it contains the following PI to associate the RNC schema: <?oxygen RNGSchema="file:/.../frameworks/xmlspec/schema/xmlspec.rnc" type="compact"?> The problem is that I edit it on different systems, and the part shown as "..." does vary between them. Is there any way to make references to editor variables for instance in such URIs? Something like: <?oxygen RNGSchema="${frameworks}/xmlspec/schema/xmlspec.rnc" type="compact"?> I also looked where to configure a URI resolver for oNVDL (because from the error message it seems that it is oNVDL that is used to validate this document) but I didn't find. Is there any particular place I could find interesting in that context (manual section, preferences, config file, webpage?) Thanks, -- Florent Georges http://www.fgeorges.org/

Like Syd, I also run Saxon from the command line at times, under OS X. The Saxon-B transform runs fine on my system as java -cp /Applications/oxygen/lib/saxon9sa.jar net.sf.saxon.Transform However, attempting to run Saxon-SA using java -cp /Applications/oxygen/lib/saxon9sa.jar net.sf.saxon.Transform -sa produces this error: "License file saxon-license.lic not found. Running in non-schema-aware mode". Is the SA license somehow "built in" to oXygen 10? Is there a way to get SA to work from the command line? (I have my own individual SA license, and if I copy it to the oXygen library then this works: java -cp /Applications/oxygen/lib/:/Applications/oxygen/lib/saxon9sa.jar \ net.sf.saxon.Transform -sa but that won't work for other owners of oXygen who do not have a separate license for SA.)
