problem validating XML with XSD
by Manuel Souto Pico 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Hi, I'm experiencing a problem trying to validate an XML produced as a back-up of a WordPress blog. I'm trying to process it with XSLT 2.0, so for that it seems I need to have a XSD schema (it doesn't like DTD). So I created a XSD schema through Document | XML Document | Learn Structure + Save Structure. I associated the XSD generated to the XML via Document | XML Document | Associate Schema. So the first two attributes are added to the root element <rss *xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" ** * * xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="VDS.2009-02-11.xsd" * xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" xmlns:excerpt="http://wordpress.org/export/1.0/excerpt/" xmlns:wp="http://wordpress.org/export/1.0/" xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" version="2.0"> and this line <?oxygen SCHSchema="VDS.2009-02-11.xsd"?> is added before the root element. Now, when I try to validate the XML document, it gives two errors: SystemID: C:\Documents and Settings\manuel\Mis documentos\Scripts\xml_to_martif\Corts_Valencianes\VDS.2009-02-11.xml Location: 28:0 Description: Cannot validate <rss>: no element declaration available URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#err-XTTE1510 SystemID: C:\Documents and Settings\manuel\Mis documentos\Scripts\xml_to_martif\Corts_Valencianes\VDS.2009-02-11.xml Location: 28:0 Description: Cannot validate <rss>: no element declaration available URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#err-XTTE1510 and the bottom of the interface shows the message "Validation - in progress" but I wait and it takes forever, it never ends. After a while, I get another error message: Please restart after allocating more memory to oxygen. For this modify the parameter -Xmx in the startup script, for example -Xmx700m. In case you were running a diff tool when this problem occurred you can try to use another algorithm next time. For more details see the 'Performance problems' and 'Setting a parameter in the startup script' sections of the User Manual. If you just want to inspect the file, please use the Large File Viewer available from the Tools menu. Any help? Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug? I tried validating another simpler, shorter file and it works fine. Kind regards, Manuel

Early access to oXygen 10.1
by George Cristian Bina 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

Hi all, You can find below links to an early access build of oXygen 10.1 for different platforms (Windows, Mac OS X and Linux). What we are looking for is feedback on the new main features of 10.1 like: - the new XML Schema visual editor - the new XML Schema documentation (PDF, DocBook, HTML output) - the new Outliner for XSLT, XML Schema and XQuery - the XQuery content completion support that goes into modules for proposals - XSLT processor options at transformation scenario level A couple of questions: - The default page for opening an XML Schema should be the Text or the new Schema (visual editor) page? - The old diagram is still available if enabled from Options->Preferences -- Editor / Pages / Text / Diagram -- Show XML Schema diagram. Do you want that to be visible by default? The version 10 license key works with 10.1 and it can be installed side by side with 10.0.

External data from XQuery in Transformation Scenario.
by Mike Starov 11 Feb '09

11 Feb '09

I am new to oxygen and I was wondering if it is possible to setup a transformation scenario where it would take my local file then add some data from external XQuery processor and take resulting XML and hand it off XSLT Processor and then to PDF FO. Here is my scenario in more details. I have main input DocBook 5 xml file. That file contains most of the data that needs to go in PDF. However final PDF needs some data that is not in that XML. That data is stored in a separate set of files and needs to be selected using complex XQuery based on certain parameters. Those parameters are stored in main xml file in processing instructions. Is something like this possible? Perhaps chained scenarios where output of one is input to another. Sort of like Apache Cocoon with eXist. -- Sincerely, Mike

New From Template Opens In Text Mode, How to Make it Open In Author Mode?

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.

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?

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).

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/

Subversion Malformed Network Data error
by Daniel Paul O'Donnell 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

Hi we're getting a malformed network data error. I looked at the earlier discussion of this, but the solution didn't really seem relevant... we aren't getting it from some clients and we are from others, and everything used to work. The problem client is on a MacBook. We're using Oxygen 9.2 and the Oxygen SVN client version 3.1. Our server is svn version 1.5.1. The .bashrc advice (i.e. make sure that .bashrc isn't producing text output on activity) doesn't seem relevant for two reasons: we are doing a straight svn: and we aren't going to a home directory or using a client that has a home directory on the server. Does anybody know what the issue might be? I saw that eclipse had some trouble with the same error with earlier versions of svn; but we're not using eclipse and the problem is not found on all clients.

where's Saxon?

Sometimes I want to execute some XSLT (2.0) transformations from the (Mac OS X) command-line. In the past, I've just issued java -jar /Applications/oxygen/lib/saxon9.jar [buncha args here] but that no longer works, as the file saxon9.jar does not exist in the current release of oXygen. But what replaces it? I tried what seemed (to me) likely, saxon9sa.jar, but got the error message "Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute ..." Any thoughts?

[Map Manager] Add Currently Edit Topic--Find Dialog Behavior Confusing (V10)
by Eliot Kimber 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

In version 10, the "add currently edit topic" to the DITA map is very handy. However, I find the behavior of the dialog a little confusing in that the file system browse tree doesn't reflect the topic selected but whatever the last thing you used it for was. The first few times I used this I though the feature was broken because I didn't immediately realize that in fact the fields on the right reflected the topic I wanted to add. I think it would be clearer if the browse tree showed as selected the topic to be added.

Tab list when Ctrl-Tab (a la NetBeans or Safari)
by Florent Georges 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Hi, Using Ctrl-Tab in oXygen, one can switch between the various open editor tabs. While keeping Ctrl pressed, N hits on Tab will show one after the other the next N tabs in the tab list order by last recently viewed. By comparison, NetBeans and Safari behave a little bit differently. They do not actually change the editor tab until Ctrl is released, but they display a list with all the tabs instead. See the following screenshot: http://www.fgeorges.org/tmp/netbeans-ctrl-tab-list.jpg I understand this is not good practice to change the interface of an application, but maybe this would be useful to add such a list in oXygen, even if the tabs continue to actually change each time Tab is pressed. I am used to have a huge amount of open tabs, and this list helps a lot to quickly figure out where is the tab I am looking for. This is very useful too when working with 4 or 5 files at the same time (for instance two XSLT modules, a schema module, a sample of input and a sample of output, and I don't even speak of XProc :-p.) Kind regards, -- Florent Georges http://www.fgeorges.org/

How To Set Up Custom DITA OT Transforms Using Ant Tasks
by Eliot Kimber 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

I've worked out how to configure the built-in DITA-specific transforms and successfully integrated my local Toolkit plugins. That all works great. What I want to do now is replicate what I currently have in a script, which runs the XHTML process and then runs the TOCJS process to generate a HTML package that includes the TOCJS dynamic TOC. I think the best way to do this (or at least the cleanest from a reusability standpoint) is to set up an Ant script that does what the script does (there's also file copying and stuff that has to happen as well). I looked through the Oxygen user guide on line and didn't see anything specifically about setting up DITA-specific processes but I see from looking at my saved DITA scenarios that there is DITA-specific stuff in the scenario definition itself. Is there documentation on how to do what I want to do or is it something someone can outline for me quickly?

After having restarted oXygen, the button was correctly enabled. I am not sure why (but that doesn't hurt...) Thanks for the help, -- Florent Georges http://www.fgeorges.org/

Unset a transform parameter in a scenario
by Florent Georges 08 Jan '09

Hi, In a transform scenario, it does not seem to be possible to unset a parameter once it has been set. If I change its value and delete all the content, it will still be set, to the empty string. This is unconvenient; for instance if the parameter has a default value, there no way to revert to this default value but to exit oXygen, open the project file by hand, locate the right scenario, delete the parameter from the file and start oXygen again. Did I miss something? Regards, -- Florent Georges http://www.fgeorges.org/
