Can't edit 11 meg file
by Timothy Reaves 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

I'm trying to open & edit an 11 meg file. When I do it errors with: "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." What gives? This is an 11 meg file; not 11 gig, not 11 tere. 11 meg! If I need to resort to vim, why am I spending money on oXygen?

Docbench
by Khaled Aly 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

Hi Would oXygen or users on list have more information about this bundle: http://www.renderx.com/tools/docbench.html? Advantages it may offer over standalone oXygen 9 for purpose of technical authoring. It refers to DocBook/TEI, but not DITA, which is supported by oXygen 9. In which ways may XEP (one of the main bundle components, which can also be integrated with oXygen 9) be distinct from or advantageous to FOP .94? And otherwise, would the added value be mainly the offered stylesheets? And would it be the same oXygen UI? Thanks ka

regular expression problem
by Toufexis Notis 11 Nov '07

11 Nov '07

Dear all, I am using oxygen 9 for MacOS X. From time to time I have the following problems with find & replace while using regular expressions. I search for <l>(.+)(\d+)(</l>) (in a TEI-encoded verse text find numbers at the end of verse before the closing tag) and want to replace it with <l n="$2"> $1 ($2) $3 (copy the numbers as n attribute within the tag and put also before the closing tags within parentheses) Strangely, from time to time only the first digit is being copied with the replace function, although all digits are being highlighted with the search function. I have not been able to figure out when this happens. The same happens also if instead of (\d+) I use (\d{1,4}). Any ideas what is causing this and how it can be fixed? Best wishes, Notis

Selectively Locking Elements in the Editor
by Eliot Kimber 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

Does Oxygen provide a way to selectively lock elements within the editor or can this be done through a plug-in? There are several use cases: 1. Lock and element and all its descendants 2. Lock an element and some of its descendants. 3. Lock the attributes but not the content of an element. 4. Lock the content but not the attributes of an element. Thanks, Eliot -- W.

Validation of no-namespace Schema-based Document
by Eliot Kimber 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

I'm trying to figure out how or if its possible to validate a schema-based document against a schema where the system location is a relative URI resolved through a catalog. Here's my document element: <document xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="simpletest_nons.xsd"> This document validates when it's in the same directory as the schema. Here is my catalog: <catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog" prefer="public"> <system systemId="simpletest_nons.xsd" uri="simpletest_nons.xsd" /> <uri name="simpletest_nons.xsd" uri="simpletest_nons.xsd" /> <uri name="urn:simpletest.gidi.org" uri="simpletest.xsd" /> </catalog> When I try to validate the above document stored in a location separate from the schema, validation fails with messages to the effect that it can't find the schema, with an effective URI that reflects the location of the document. Actually I get the same sort of failure for a namespaced document valid against a namespace-governing schema, e.g.: <document xmlns="urn:simpletest.gidi.org" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:simpletest.gidi.org simpletest.xsd"> Is it possible to use catalogs to remap non-absolute URIs in this way or must I use absolute URIs for the schema location value?

Problem with Plugin-Specific Dialog During Save
by Eliot Kimber 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

This is using V9 on OS X Tiger. My URI handler plugin puts up a dialog on save to capture information needed to commit the file back to the repository. If I do File->Save or click the save button, then I get the usual "save in progress" dialog with my dialog above it. However, if I do "ctrl+s" to save then sometimes my dialog comes up under the progress dialog and I can't figure out any way to bring it to the front. I tried doing this: CommitDialog.toFront(); CommitDialog.setVisible(true); But it appeared to have no effect; Is there a solution to this? Thanks, Eliot -- W.

oXygen 9.0 builds and the build 2007110615
by George Cristian Bina 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

Hello, Starting with version 9.0 we decided to make available more builds inside a minor version. We will document all the changes that a build adds on the build history page http://www.oxygenxml.com/build_history.html In general a build will fix problems that appear only in certain circumstances or will add features that were not possible before that build date so users should check if the changes in a new build are affecting them or not before updating. For instance we made available a first build since the initial 9.0 release. This build changes are recorded on the build history page: http://www.oxygenxml.com/build_history.html#build2007110615 As you see the changes are: * Fixed missing resource error when a scenario is edited in the Document Type Association and the GUI interface is in a different language than English. * Updated the TEI P5 framework to the latest version, that is 1.0. So, you should consider getting this build only if you are using oXygen in a language different than English and you want to customize the document types or, if you are using TEI and you want to use TEI P5 1.0. Otherwise there is no need to move to this new build. All new builds will be announced on the this list.

URI Handler Question: Escaping/Unescaping URIs
by Eliot Kimber 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

I don't know if anything I'm doing here is correct, but here's what I'm trying to do: In my plugin I'm producing URIs that look like this: RSUITE:/Some Path/Another Folder/Some File Name With Spaces?moid=123 I was doing this in my chooseURL() method: Return url = new URL(urlString); Where "urlString" would be the string above (that is, the string with spaces unescaped). The problem I ran into was that on close the URL that came back had all the spaces escaped so that the URL produced by chooseURL() and the one used by getOutputStream() did not compare as equal (which was a problem because I was using the URL as a key to get back to my private data structures representing the repository object). I solved the problem by doing this: urlString = RSUITE_PROTOCOL + ":" + URLEncoder.encode(resId, "utf-8"); urlString = urlString.replaceAll("\\+", "%20"); Where "resId" is the part of the URL following the "RSUITE:. This works in my (limited) tests but I don't think it's a complete solution. My question is: is there a better way to be escaping and unscaping the URI string so that what Oxygen calls getOutputStream() on matches what I originally construct. The other thing I noticed was that if I didn't change the "+" to "%20" then in the Oxygen UI the "+" characters show up (e.g., in the label on the tab for the document) but if I change them to "%20" then you get spaces, which is what I want. What is the right/best way to handle the escaping and unescaping in this environment? Thanks, Eliot -- W. Eliot Kimber Senior Solutions Architect Really Strategies, Inc.

Vista Crash
by harvey 02 Nov '07

02 Nov '07

My old XP system needed upgrading - basically because Oxygen was very slow. Yesterday I bought a new desktop computer with 3 Gigabytes of memory and was looking forward to fast transformations |-)! I installed Oxygen and everything looked great. I tried running a transformation that takes 2 seconds on my old XP with 512 megabytes of memory and the transformation took 5 minutes. I tried it again and got a message saying to increate the "-Xmx" in Oxygen.bat. I increased it from 256m to 512m then to 1g and am still having the same problem. I couldn't find any information on the archives. Anyone have any advice on solving this problem. TIA!

Protocol Handler Plugin
by Eliot Kimber 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

I seem to have my protocol handler working so that I can now open and save (commit) files back to the RSuite repository. A couple of feature requests that would make things a little cleaner/more complete: - The ability to set the read-only flag on the file, either on open or following a save. In my case, one can commit a file and release the lock on the file. But the file is still open in the editor so it needs to be set to read-only since the user cannot at that point save it back to the repository. - A way to silently cancel the save or otherwise provide a non-failure message. In my case, on save the user has to provide some check-in information (message, etc.) and can cancel the check-in at the point. All I can see to do is throw an IOException in that case, which results in a "Cannot save" message box, rather than either a "Save canceled" or just silence (either would be OK in this case). - A call on close so that I can, for example, give the user the opportunity to do a final commit or change the lock status or whatever. This is scenario where users might be saving to a temp location as they work and then want to save to the final location on close. Alternatively, a way to add my own save menu items, e.g., "save as new version", "commit and release lock", etc. I can provide these choices during save but users would expect those options on the File menu. It would also be useful to be able to get access to Oxygen-specific properties of the file, such as its validation status, so that I can prevent commit of invalid or non-well-formed docs. Obviously I can do those checks in my own code, but Oxygen already knows (or can know) those things. Thanks, Eliot -- W. Eliot Kimber Senior Solutions Architect Really Strategies, Inc.

oXygen 9 beta 2
by Khaled Aly 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

George Thanks for the great product and your responsiveness. I'm just thinking if there is currently a way, or if it would be within feasible means, to embed the ability to recognize and perform auto-complete and most important attribute menu selection for the LREs within an XSLT document. Of course I'm not looking for pre-validation of result. But with both HTML and FO, this could be a great feature and would cut on the development time specially if the number of attributes is large as is the case with XSL-FO. Involved LRE vocabularies can be identified from the xslt namespace declaration.

Ajax-like content completion list in oXygen?
by David Sewell 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

I'm wondering how the following might be accomplished in oXygen. Suppose I have an index of terms stored in an XML file, call it "index.xml". The file looks like this: <index> <entry>cats : and dogs</entry> <entry>cats : and mice</entry>  <index> I am editing an XML file, call it "doc.xml", in which I want to insert index terms contained in the index file, like so: <p>In 2006 Felix the cat caught over 200 mice.<index><term>cats: and mice</term></index></p> While editing doc.xml, after I type "<term>", I want to access a list of possible entries drawn from index.xml. Ideally this would be implemented in the manner of popular Ajax-based form entry, so that typing the first few letters would call up a window containing a list of all index entries beginning with those letters. Because index.xml could contain thousands of entries, this goes beyond what oXygen content completion or code templates are designed to do. Would this task require writing a plug-in for oXygen? Or are there off-the-shelf Ajax tools that would work with the Eclipse version of oXygen to enable this kind of interaction?

Implementing a URI Protocol Handler Plugin
by Eliot Kimber 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

I'm trying to implement a custom URI protocol handler and as part of that I'll be creating my own dialogs for choosing objects from the RSuite repository. My question is: does the URLChooserPluginExtension have access to the parent frame of the Oxygen application? I see that for example selection plugins do but I don't see any indication that URL chooser plugins do, but I think it would be good, for example, to be able to position my dialog relative to the Oxygen window or get minimize events or whatever (which I think getting the frame lets me do--I'm very new to Java GUI programming).

Schematron, XPath 2.0, "fn" prefix
by Brett Zamir 17 Oct '07

Hi, Sorry, nevermind, I found the answer here: http://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=8533&sid=4cd8a0006d04818872a… I also discovered that one should not use the namespace bindings in scope for the elements and attributes on the assert evaluations (as I tried to do on the <schema> element), but should only use those on <ns>. (And, my rule context was inappropriate to be used with '.'.) thanks, Brett ------------------------------------------------------------ Hi, (I also posted this basic message in the online forums) I'm trying to use an XPath 2.0 (regular expression) function within Schematron, and I'm seeming to have a problem with the supposedly optional namespace "fn" when I try to validate. The error message I get is: The URI http://www.w3.org/2003/11/xpath-functions does not identify an external Java class I've tried it with and without the namespaces, whether in <schema>, <ns>, or within assert@test... I've also specified in the options that I want XPath 2.0, and it's showing up correctly as 2.0 in the toolbar. I'm using the trial edition of Oxygen Home edition, though from the feature comparison chart at http://www.oxygenxml.com/feature_matrix.html , I don't see any feature missing there that I need for this...
