Catalogs, XML Calabash and Saxon
by Wendell Piez 30 Mar '16

30 Mar '16

Hi, I have a catalog set up for my project, which calls another catalog on my system, which resolves FPIs to paths. When I validate a document calling one of the DTDs at the far end of this chain, it works -- oXygen finds the DTD and validates the file. Same thing when the same document is called in via the collection() function in an XSLT - the file parses. (Plus, I know the DTD is looked for and found because if I break the link by changing the FPI, it is not found and I get an error. Plus if I set oXygen to show me its catalog lookups, there they are.) However, when I run the same stylesheet inside an XProc pipeline run by Calabash inside oXygen, I get an error "this document will be excluded from the collection" and a message to the effect that the DTD could not be found. What am I missing? Apparently while XML Calabash will use the catalog, and Saxon will use the catalog, Saxon-inside-Calabash will not? Does anyone have any insight or workarounds to share?

[XML Editor 18.0, build 2016031809] Selection mode while double click on a string with dot
by Lancelot.MEURILLON＠oecd.org 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Hi all, It seems the selection mode while double click on a string with dot has changed. Until version 17 a double click on this kind of string selected only the word until the dot (as it would be a separator). Now with the 18 version, the default behaviour is the selection does not stop at a dot. Is it a desired change ? Can I change this behaviour in settings ? Thanks Lancelot

Creating a RELAX NG datatype library .jar for use with the v.Nu schemas
by Graham Hannington 18 Mar '16

18 Mar '16

I forget to mention in my previous post: I've run Oxygen XML Author with oxygenDebug.bat and with the log4j.properties specified on the Oxygen website (to write logs under my desktop), but the only error I see when I use "my" .jar is the same one I get when there is no datatype .jar present: > E [Jing] datatype library "http://whattf.org/datatype-draft" not recognized It's as if my .jar is being ignored. This is partly what prompted my niggling thought that perhaps Oxygen has some persistent parser cache that expects the other jar (from the jEdit XML plugin developer that I used first); but if so, the stickiness is deeper than just the .jar file name, because I get the same behavior when I use the same .jar file name. If I close Oxygen, replace my .jar with the .jar from the jEdit XML plugin developer, and restart Oxygen, then I don't get that Jing error, and validation works using the v.Nu schemas that refer to those datatypes. I need to investigate whether I can turn on additional diagnostic options for Jing that might indicate whether or not my .jar is being used. I'd appreciate advice on that. (I've had confirmation from the jEdit XML plugin developer that all he did was to cut down the vnu.jar.)

Creating a RELAX NG datatype library .jar for use with the v.Nu schemas
by Graham Hannington 13 Mar '16

13 Mar '16

Revisiting some similar threads from several years ago... I want to use the Nu Html Checker (v.Nu) RELAX NG compact syntax schemas with Oxygen XML Author to edit XHTML5 documents. I'm using Oxygen XML Author version 15.2 on Windows 7. I'm already editing XHTML5 documents with the v.Nu schemas in another editor, jEdit, thanks to a jEdit XML plugin developer who has supplied me with a .jar containing the required datatype library. Good news: I can drop that .jar into the Oxygen lib directory, and everything "works": I point to the v.Nu schemas (that refer to a custom datatype), and Oxygen validates my XHTML5 documents. Bad news: I'm unable to re-create that datatype .jar myself, hence this email. I've cut down the release vnu.jar (which is what I believe the jEdit XML plugin developer did) to create a .jar containing just the classes (and other embedded data files) required by the datatype library (to avoid introducing classes that might clash with others in the classpath) to exactly the same set of files, and I've compared contents (including decompiling classes). I can't spot any significant differences between the two jars. But his works, mine doesn't :-(. And yet... both jars (mine and his) work in jEdit. So, I'm confused. To me, the most obvious answer is: there's something wrong with my .jar that I'm overlooking, that, for some reason, matters to Oxygen but not to jEdit (I haven't compared Jing versions in each product). Still, I have this niggling feeling that my jar might be okay, and that Oxygen has cached something to do with the custom datatypes in a way that requires the original version of the datatype .jar I used (from the jEdit XML plugin developer). I just don't know where that cache might be. I've deselected "parser caching", but I haven't seen any option to "clear parser cache". I'd appreciate advice on any of this. In particular: - Is my niggling feeling about parser caching just wishful thinking? Or is there a parser cache (that persists between Oxygen sessions) that I can clear? - Can someone provide me with steps that I can reproduce to cut down a release vnu.jar to, say, a vnu-datatype.jar that works in Oxygen? For details on what I'm up to and why, see: https://www.github.com/unsoup/validator (I must update that readme to mention raw.githubusercontent.com URLs an alternative to github.io URLs) Regards, Graham Hannington Fundi Software Pty Ltd 2016 ABN 89 009 120 290 This message has been scanned for malware by Websense. www.websense.com

[Announce] Streaming hands-on XSLT/XPath class (5 days, 24 hours) US$45
by G. Ken Holman 11 Mar '16

11 Mar '16

Fellow XML community members, Udemy, the streaming platform hosting my 24-hour-long hands-on XSLT/XPath class has imposed a price cap of US$50 on all classes. In advance of the imposed date next month, I've gone ahead and dropped the price today and created a 10% off coupon here: http://CraneSoftwrights.com/links/ptux-coupon.htm If you are interested, then please use the above discount coupon. This may seem counter-intuitive on my part to offer this, but I net a larger portion of the price paid with a coupon than of the list price paid without a coupon. This class is a comprehensive review of every element, every attribute and every function of XSLT/XPath 1.0 and XSLT/XPath 2.0, with exercises and answers. I am proud of how many students have lauded the material. This is a video recording of the 5-day class that I've taught in person around the world. I begin from first principles and work my way up to the complex concepts. Even seasoned XSLT users have appreciated the content. Please let me know, off list, if you have any questions. Thanks for any help you can be spreading the word and the link above to anyone who may have been interested in my material in the past. . . . . . . . .

No highlighting for dropdown selections in Eclipse
by Arjan Loeffen 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Dear collegues, I'm on Oxygen 17.1.0 in Mars.1 Release (4.5.1). I lost my highlight on selections in Eclipse. Anyone, how do I get dropdown highlighting back? Is this an oxygen or eclipse thing? I do not have this problem in the Java IDE. I do have it in Oygen XSLT, XML, CSS etc. [image: Inline afbeelding 1] Thanks in advance! Arjan -- Arjan Loeffen, Armatiek BV 06-12918997
