Create a new file on MarkLogic through WebDAV
by Florent Georges 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

Hi, I have MarkLogic in a virtual box for developing purposes (on Mac OS X) and tried to create a new file from within oXygen, by using the "Open URL" action. I filled in the info and pressed "Browse" to be sure the info are ok, and everything goes fine. But when I press "OK", I receive a 404. Is it possible to create a new file with this action? If not, is it possible by any other means? Regards, -- Florent Georges http://www.fgeorges.org/

Out of memory fixed
by Mark Wilson 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

Thanks Barton (and Eliot), Worked like a charm, and without the quotes. Yes, I know that I have a lot of wasted memory, but at the time I installed, it was the cheapest way to get the 3.5 I do get to use. In the good old days, running OS-9 on a Tandy Color Computer, I had to hard-wire bank switching on a 64K memory chip for a 6009 processor that could only address 32K. Things were so simple then. Although I am highly skilled with C++, I am totally at sea with java and know absolutely nothing at all about Linux - my bad. >From the Arizona desert, Thanks Mark

Out of memory problem
by Mark Wilson 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

This is likely not the right list for this question, but please help if you can. Using Oxygen's scenario mechanism, I am able to run the built-in FOP and produce my PDF file with no problems. However, when I try to do the same thing from a BAT using my stand-alone FOP 0.95, I get an "out of java heap space memory". I Googled and found lots of information for people who know java or Linux (I know neither). I know I have to change the fop.bat file but do not understand exactly how to do that. Concerning java, the fop.bat has the lines: set JAVAOPTS=-Denv.windir=%WINDIR% if "%JAVA_HOME%" == "" goto noJavaHome if not exist "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe" goto noJavaHome if "%JAVACMD%" == "" set JAVACMD=%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java goto runFop :noJavaHome if "%JAVACMD%" == "" set JAVACMD=java :runFop rem ECHO "%JAVACMD%" "%JAVACMD%" %JAVAOPTS% %LOGCHOICE% %LOGLEVEL% -cp "%LOCALCLASSPATH%" org.apache.fop.cli.Main %FOP_CMD_LINE_ARGS% What do I add or change? I have 4 gig of memory on a Vista machine. What do I add or change so that my stand-alone FOP will have the same heap size as the Oxygen built-in FOP? Thanks for any consideration you can give me, Mark

AuthorListener.contentDeleted( ... )
by Dylan Dawson 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

When overriding contentDeleted(DocumentContentChangedEvent arg0) in a custom implementation of the AuthorListener class, how is it possible to determine exactly what content was deleted? It appears that this event fires after the content is deleted without giving the developer a chance to determine what is now missing. Any suggestions?

using catalogs
by Steven_Carmody＠brown.edu 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

I'm trying to use Oxygen to edit the set of XML-based config files that come with the Shibboleth package. The package is typically installed on linux, as a plugin into a web server such as apache. The package comes with a set of .xsd files, and an accompanying set of xml catalog files. Here's what a typical supplied catalog file looks like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog"> <system systemId="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.0:assertion" uri="/opt/local/shibboleth-sp/share/xml/opensaml/cs-sstc-schema-assertion-1.1.xsd"/> <system systemId="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.0:protocol" uri="/opt/local/shibboleth-sp/share/xml/opensaml/cs-sstc-schema-protocol-1.1.xsd"/> </catalog> I've tried the following steps: -- downloaded all of the xsd and catalog files to my desktop Mac -- edited the catalog files, changing the file system path in all the uri attributes - launched Oxygen, went to Preferences/XML Catalog, and added the five catalog files that come with the package. - quit Oxygen, re-launched (to have the new Preferences take effect) -- open a Shibboleth xml file, and attempt to validate it I'm presented with an error -- "There is no schema or DTD associated with the document. You can create an association either with the Associate Schema action or from the Options men Preferences/Editor/Default Schema Association." does anyone have a suggestion on a way to get validation to work, using catalog files? Rather than adding everything to the Default Schema Association?

New file templates for XSLT stylesheets
by Florent Georges 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

Hi, I'd like to create a new template for XSLT stylesheets (with additional namespace bindings, license notes, etc.) As far as I've seen, file templates are configured via the Document Type Associations. So I'd like to be sure that creating such an association for XSLT stylesheets won't break anything in my install before taking that path... Is it the way to follow?

XSLStyle and oXygen
by Florent Georges 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

Hi, I posted a few thoughts about integrating Ken Holman's XSLStyle <http://www.cranesoftwrights.com/resources/xslstyle/> in oXygen. Hope you'll find them interesting: http://fgeorges.blogspot.com/2009/02/xslstyle-and-oxygen.html BTW, I think it would be useful to have, in the various "Generate Documentation" actions, to have the ability to select the currently edited file instead of having to select it explicitly on the file system. Or maybe to have it as default if it is of the same type as the action. Regards, -- Flroent Georges http://www.fgeorges.org/

New features?
by Florent Georges 03 Mar '09

Hi, Speaking about new features, did you consider those two: http://www.oxygenxml.com/pipermail/oxygen-user/2008-October/002024.html http://www.oxygenxml.com/pipermail/oxygen-user/2008-October/002026.html ? I think those could be interesting to have, also with the ability to open several projects at a time (but I guess this one require maybe too much changes for a minor release.)

Format and Indent Problem
by Jeff Sese 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hi, As I have read on previous posts, oXygen classifies mixed content based on the current contents of an element, is this correct? If so, is it possible for oXygen to classify elements based on the declarations made in the DTD or Schema it is associated to? I know that the work around for this is to specify the pattern of elements that you want to preserve the whitespace in the preferences or to manually insert an xml:space="preserve" attributes for these elements, but if an XML is associated with a DTD or a Schema then you can tell whether whitespace in that element is ignorable or not. Currently what I've been doing is for every project I have to specify in the pattern listing all the mixed content elements that are defined in the DTD/Schema so that when I do a pretty print the whitespace is preserved and this method is very troublesome. Is there anymore workaround for this other than the ones I mentioned above? Or can this be considered as an added feature for a future version of the product? Thanks, Jeff

Context menus
by Dylan Dawson 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Is there a way for developers to add to the right click context menu in Author Mode? I would like to be able to right click a node or some text and have a context menu give me choices based on what I have right clicked. Of course, I would also need to be able to handle the event generated when a user makes their selection from the context menu.

New XSLT outline comments
by Florent Georges 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Hi, About the new outline for XSLT modules, there are two columns, one for the name of the component and one for the mode (if the component is a template rule and has a mode name.) The mode column takes a lot of place, even for a module within which you only have functions! Two ideas to improve its readability: 1/ have the mode column only for template rows (I am not sure that "conditional columns" depending on the row are neither possible or usable) or, even better, 2/ group all template rules in the same mode into their own node: + variables - var1 - var2 + functions - fun1 - fun2 + templates - template-name - match-pattern + templates (mode: my-more) - match-pattern - other-one I think that has the double advantage of having the layout more clear and also the grouping of template rules itself (as usually a mode groups logically related rules.) Two other notes: 1/ the group names in the outline are singular while I think they should be plural (variable vs. variables) and 2/ template rules with a name are rendered as "name match-pattern". I agree that having a single "group of words" for both is more clear because more concise, but we should have a way to distinguish both (for instance a slightly different color, or one in italic...) Hope that helps, -- Florent Georges http://www.fgeorges.org/

Filtering in Outline view
by Christian Kosmowski 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

On the feature List i found the following Point: You can easily focus on a subset of components using the new Outline view filtering feature. Just type a text fragment in the filter box and only the components matching that will be presented. For advanced usage you can use wildcards (*, ?) and separate multiple patterns with commas. This is a feature i requested and i'm very happy to hear, that its implemented but somehow i can't find the filter box. Thanks!

Track Changes Functionality - 10.2 beta
by Dylan Dawson 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Hi there, I am currently developing a plug-in for oXygen , and 'track changes' is one of our major priorities. With the release of oXygen 10.1, I thought now would be a good time to ask if there is any support for tracking changes in oXygen 10.2 beta. Since 10.2 will likely be released AFTER we release our plug-in, we are looking at implementing this ourselves. To that end, I was also wondering if it is possible to bind to and handle events for individual keystrokes instead of CTRL commands. Your release notes for 10.1 say (from the website): "[API] Author extensions can receive document change notifications The API for developing Author extensions provides support to receive notifications when the XML document is changed." Does this mean that there is now a way to handle events as the document is being edited? This would greatly affect our implementation of track changes. Of course, if you already DO have track changes in 10.2 beta, I would be interested to get a test build as soon as possible.

Referencing external files in relationship table topicrefs
by Gabrielle Burns 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

I recently created a topicref in a relationship table to an external file. During trial and error in compiling, I learned that the externally referenced file had to be in the "out" folder to be compiled. If this is the only method, I will need to copy hundreds of external files to a subfolder in the "out" folder. Is there an alternative way to reference external files other than this approach? My original assumption was that an external file could be located outside the "out" folder, and that the topicrefs would include the path to a different location, using "../" at the beginning of the path. I have not found information in Help about this issue. Thank you.

RelaxNG Inclusion

Hi, I'm trying to start a RelaxNG Schema and in some tutorials i found that i can make RelaxNG Grammars without a start Element.

feature request: use ant properties file for transformation scenarios

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?

Shortcut key wanted: Select element contents

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.

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.
