Generating "hot" reports
by Wendell Piez 18 Sep '07

18 Sep '07

Hi, One nice feature in oXygen is that you can wire in External Tools, and oXygen will capture their outputs in a Command Results panel. Another is, of course, that you can link directly from reports generated by validators, XPath queries and the like -- which also appear in Command Results panels. Can these two features be combined? In other words, would it be possible for me to generate a report in an external tool which, once oXygen picked it up in its panel, would allow me to link directly to locations named in the report? I'm familiar with the "SystemID", "Location", "Description" format oXygen saves out from command results, but apparently (unless I'm missing something) what I want to do here isn't quite as simple as creating this format. Is this a feature request, or should I be able to accomplish what I want already?

debugger questions
by James Don 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

Hello, Just wanted to send some feed back on the tool regarding the xsl debugger: - Why do breakpoints not set ? There are 2 "add break point"s in the right click menu ... only 1 seems to add break points ... the other just changes the colour of the break point. - Watched variables don't update as you step in the debugger ... unless of course you click around in the gui to force a refresh ... this makes debugging pretty annoying ... - Can't break on variable definitions ... i keep getting an error msg that says "Breakpoints can only be created on a line containing the end of a start tag" ? - Inside some looping constructs it seems watches on certain xpaths return null ... even though variables dependent on the same xpath are set ... Cheers, Jim

Editing & Processing DITA on 8.2
by Khaled Aly 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

Hello Sorin / oXygen users Can anyone provide some guidelines/clues on using DITA 1.0 on oXygen 8.2 (while it does not yet incorporate DITA's Open Toolkit), provided the right DTDs are referenced. I got below some specific issues: - Filename extensions: although DITA's topic or map markup is well-formed XML and should validate against the corresponding DTD, DITA uses the file name extensions: *.dita and *.ditamap. As far as editing and validating, they seem to validate well with these extensions. - Now for OT processors that are available in O2 current version: Saxon 6.5.5 and FOP, can we set transformation scenarios, based on OT supplied XSLT sheets and process them to generate PDF out of a topic file or a map file? - This is probably for oXygen support. Siren: is the direction to strictly follow the processing tools and scenarios specified by OT (since they are part of the standard), or can we expect oXygen as an independent vendor to provide further transform scenarios beyond those specified by the OT. There is a bit of fuzziness of whether DITA is perceived as an XML application or as a tool. I tend to think of it as an application, but if it is fully dependent on the OT for processing, then it is more like a tool without a specific realization. Appreciate your feedback .

Problem with Eclipse 3.3 plugin and XSL editor on Linux
by Owen Rees 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

I recently upgraded my Linux Eclipse installation to the Eclipse Europa package "Eclipse for RCP/Plug-in Developers" and added the Oxygen Eclipse 3.3 plugin. The XML editor seems to be fine but whenever I try to start the XSL editor it says: An SWT error has occurred. [stuff about exiting] Unhandled event loop exception (Time...) Reason: Cannot initialize Drop I have a similar installation on Windows but that seems to be working. Any ideas about what the problem might be? -- Owen Rees ======================================================== Hewlett-Packard Limited.

create XML document from xsd - choose target namespace?
by Linus Kamb 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

I have a schema, that starts out with: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <xs:schema elementFormDefault="qualified" version="1.0" targetNamespace="http://portal.earthscope.org" xmlns:esdp="http://portal.earthscope.org" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:ogc="http://www.opengis.net/ogc" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml"> <xs:import namespace="http://www.opengis.net/gml" schemaLocation="http://schemas.opengis.net/gml/3.1.1/base/feature.xsd"> </xs:import> <xs:import namespace="http://www.opengis.net/ogc" schemaLocation="http://schemas.opengis.net/filter/1.1.0/filter.xsd"> </xs:import> ... When I try to create a new XML document and select this schema file, the create doc wizard chooses the ogc namespace, and therefore offers up as root element all the elements defined in the imported ogc schema. I would like to get the elements defined in *this* schema under the target namespace. I can't seem to change the offered namespace. >> How do I get the create XML document wizard to choose the targetNamespace and the elements defined in this schema document? Running Oxygen 8.2 on Mac OSX 10.4 Thanks, Linus

Using Catalogs with Saxon8B XQuery Processor
by Eliot Kimber 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

I'm trying to use Saxon through Oxygen to query documents that require a catalog for DTD resolution (the DTD system ID is an absolute URI that isn't a real location). I've configured Oxygen's catalog setup to use my catalogs and that works fine. When I try to doc a query like this: Let $docs := collection(iri-to-uri("mydocsdir&recurse=yes;select=*.xml")) I get a "404 Not Found for: {URI of DTD} I didn't see any obvious option for specifying the catalog. Since I'm using Saxon's built-in catalog resolver I'm not sure what to do to make it work with my catalogs. Thanks, Eliot ---- W.

3-way merge?
by lars 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

Hello, The XML Diff/Merge tool that comes with Oxygen looks pretty nice. However there doesn't seem to be provision for a 3-way merge (using a common ancestor). This kind of merge is a common requirement when a repository of XML documents is continually modified by a distributed team or company; users need to keep merging others' changes to documents with their own changes before committing modified documents to the repository. This would tie in well with the Synchro SVN client, which allows you to perform merges in exactly this situation, but apparently without the benefit of common-ancestor-awareness (?), or at least without XML-awareness and common-ancestor-awareness at the same time. Are there any plans to incorporate 3-way (common ancestor) merge into Oxygen Diff/Merge tool? Regards, Lars

DocBook 5 rng-based documents
by Khaled Aly 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

Hi oXygen 8.2 supports both DocBook 4.4 and 5.0. According to Norm Welsh DockBook5 Definitive Guide [quote/unquote]: "The normative schema for DocBook V5.0 is the RELAX NG Grammar with its Schematron annotations. The only reason to use a DTD with DocBook V5.0 is if your editing environment (or other tool) requires one, for example, for syntax directed editing." The sample provided with oXygen 8.2 has this declaration: <!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V5.0//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/5.0/docbook.dtd"> Anyone knows what should be the proper DOCTYPE declaration if the document is to be based on the RNG. And is there any specific impact on transformation functions in that case? Thanks for help. ka
