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

XSLT coping xsi:schemaLocation?
by Timothy Reaves 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

O.K., I think I'm down to the last issue. When I run my transform, my root elements xsi:schemaLocation attribute is not copied over however. As I need to process the root elements children, I have to use copy. I tried using the same technique I use for other attributes, but I can't specify an attribute name with xsi: in the name. Anyone know how to get the location to copy over? I still need it in place to validate the transformed element. I'd even settle for being able to hard-code the value in the XSL file. Thanks.

validation and custom java extensions
by Hausherr, Jens 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

Hello, maybe I have missed it in the documentation: How do I register custom XSLT-extensions implemented in Java so that the editor stops complaining about not finding a matching function? The transform works fine if I register my Jar file as an extension so the error reported by the editor is a little annoying.

xsl question
by Timothy Reaves 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

I have an issue I'm trying to resolve. When I perform an xslt transform in the XSLT Debugger, the output is what I expect. When I execute a transform with the command line: java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in applications\InputTemplate.xml -xsl configxsl\transformer.xsl -out applications\Output.xml the output is not the same. In oXygen, I've specified InputTemplate.xml as the XML, transformer.xsl as the XSL (both open in buffers) and Xalan. The difference I'm seeing is that in the debugger, an XInclude is being included (the output window shows the combined document, and properly transformed. This is what I want). The output when run from the command line leaves the XInclude element alone, but otherwise properly transforms the document. So does oXygen just process in-memory? Is there a way to see the equivalent command line? Thanks.

Saxon xinclude processing of Xquery
by Christian Wittern 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

Dear Oxygen users, The Saxon documentation (http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/changes/intro/xinclude89.html) says that starting with Version 8.9 (Java implementation) there is support for xinclude processing for both XSLT and XQuery. Now, since Oxygen 8.2 already bundles Saxon B 8.9.0.3 and it runs on my Mac with Java 1.5, I assume it should be possible to tell Saxon to expand my xincludes for the query. However, I can't quite figure out if Oxygen has an option somewhere or, failing that, how I can pass a commandline argument for Saxon through the transformer. Any help appreciated, Christian -- Christian Wittern Institute for Research in Humanities, Kyoto University 47 Higashiogura-cho, Kitashirakawa, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606-8265, JAPAN

[bug] printing diagrams is broke
by Timothy Reaves 08 Aug '07

08 Aug '07

I went to print a diagram of a schema I have been working on. So I context-clicked and selected print. The dialog that pops up offers little real options (margin and orientation), so I just pressed OK and walked over to the printer. Where 24 pages of paper were waiting for me. So I'm left wondering what moron thought that was a good thing when designing the print system? What an incredible waste of paper. Plus, like I really have nothing better to do that tape 24 pages (it's a relatively small schema too) together. I'm a big fan of oXygen, and have converted several of my co-workers over to it. This is really the first time I've had to just scratch my head in wonder. For images, the print system should either constrain to a single page (the default), or ask what to do.

Failed to create InputSource
by Kai Mütz 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Hi, I use oXygenxml 7.2 within Eclipse 3.2.1 and want to resolve a path to a XML schema file using a catalog file whiche I have registered in oxygen preferences. The verbose output tells me that oxygen resolves the systemid correctly (Resolved System: http://.... file://.....) but cannot load the schema file from the resolved location: Failed to create InputSource: file://.... The resolved location is definitly correct and points to a valid schema file. Can anyone help me? Regards, Kai

Is It PossibleTo Assign Shortcuts Keys For Code Template
by Jeff Sese 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Hi, Is it possible to assign shortcut keys for custom code template? Or is it possible to assign shortcut keys for commonly used unicode characters? It nice that oxygen has the character map dialog so that insertion of unicode characters can be easy, but it would really be nice if I can assign shortcut keys to commonly type/inserted unicode characters. I workaround that I did was assign code templates for these characters but the feedback that I got from other possible user of the editor is that it would be better if shortcut keys can be assigned. Also, when I assigned a code template like this: "ó${caret}", when I execute it using the ctrl+space the caret position moves back to the start of the character, I was assuming that it would be at the end of the character. Is this a bug? Thanks, Jeff -- *Jeferson L. Sese* Asiatype Incorporated Suite 114, Columbia Tower, Ortigas Ave., Greenhills, Mandaluyong City 1550 Philippines

XML Schema and empty elements
by Timothy Reaves 26 Jul '07

26 Jul '07

I'd like to have my schema specify that not only are certain elements required, but that they can't be blank. I can't seem to find how to specify this. I thought it was the nillable attribute, but that doesn't prevent blank elements.

XML Schema & XInclude ?
by Timothy Reaves 26 Jul '07

26 Jul '07

I have an xml schema I've created. I'd like to have several XML documents that are combined into a larger one (I do this with DocBook & chapters). But I can't figure out how to do this with XMLSchema. Basically what I have is one xml document per environment (it's for configuration information). I'd like to have a parent document that has elements from the schema that are generic to the overall base, then includes the several smaller environment xml documents. Any ideas? Thanks!

iso schematron reports cause validation failure
by lars 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Hello, I'm using Schematron to validate XML documents in Oxygen 8.2. My Schematron schema includes "asserts" (as usual) and also "reports." When a "report" is triggered, the message is displayed by oxygen (as it should be), but Oxygen also says "Validation failed: n errors", which I think is incorrect. My understanding from the Schematron spec is that "asserts" are for detecting validation errors, while reports are for giving the user neutral information. I couldn't find a very authoritative source for this, but these two articles support it: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2000/11/22/schematron.html?page=2 (The general intent is that /assert/ is used to detect errors, while /report/ can be used to report affirmative qualities of an instance.) http://www.ldodds.com/papers/schematron_xsltuk.html#c35e2592b6b3 While reports and asserts are effectively the inverse of one another, the intended uses of the two elements are quite different. An assert is used to test whether a document conforms to a particular schema, generating actions if deviations are encountered. A report is used to highlight features of the underlying data: *Example 6. A simple report* <report test="not(roof)">This house does not have a roof</assert> The distinction may seem subtle, especially when grapplying with a constraint which may be expressed simpler in one way or the other. However Schematron itself does not define the action which must be taken on a failed assert, or successful report, this is implementation specific. The default behaviour is to simply provide the user with the provided message. An implementation may choose to handle these two cases differently. So, it seems to me that when a "report" is triggered, oxygen should display the message but should not say that validation failed unless some "assert"s have failed. Lars

DocBook to PDF on v8.2 (w/ attachment)
by Khaled Aly 23 Jul '07

23 Jul '07

Hi I'm trying DocBook transformation to PDF for the first time. I followed the configuration parameters as per the Help pages (btw, some menus in Help pages are not up-to-date with 8.2). I tried all Saxon and Xalan transformers. I consistently get a Java error message, on one very long line, in the attached file. Would much appreciate any guidance of getting it to work (I didn't have this problem with v.8.1). Regards, Khaled Aly

[defect] Eclipse plugin & full size editor
by Timothy Reaves 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

With 8.2 Eclipse 3.3 plugin, there is a defect where when I am editing with the edit area maximized, any error pops up the console/problem area, removing focus from the edit area. This is more than a little annoying! Damn near every single keystroke causes this. So for example, simply typing <mytag Will cause this to happen six times, once after each keystroke! Yes, I under stand that < and <m and <my and <myt and <myta and <mytag are each invalid. But I'm still typing. The same applies to attributes of compleated tags. In full size mode, validate should show errors on the edit window, but should not transfer focus to the errors tab.

Save Failed:null
by Michael Allman 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

Hi, Since upgrading to Oxygen 8.2 from 7.2 I've encountered a very annoying error with the XQuery editor. If I load an XQuery file, modify it, and then attempt to save it I get an error dialog stating simply "Save Failed:null". I'm running Oxygen as an Eclipse plugin. The Eclipse error log entry looks like eclipse.buildId=M20070212-1330 java.version=1.5.0_07 java.vendor=Apple Computer, Inc. BootLoader constants: OS=macosx, ARCH=x86, WS=carbon, NL=en_US Framework arguments: -keyring /Users/msa/.eclipse_keyring -showlocation Command-line arguments: -os macosx -ws carbon -keyring /Users/msa/.eclipse_keyring -consoleLog -showlocation Error Mon Jul 16 10:35:47 PDT 2007 Save Failed I have "Check errors on save" enabled. If I turn it off, I don't have this problem. If I validate the file before saving, I don't have this problem. The problem only occurs if I attempt to save the file without validating it first. This is very annoying. I hope you can help. Thanks. Michael

XML Schema question
by Timothy Reaves 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

I have an XML Schema I'm trying to lock down (to do more validation for me). I have an element with a required attribute that I restrict as shown below. <xsd:element name="MyElement1"> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="Description" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:string"/> <xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" ref="MyElement2"/> <xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" ref="MyElement3"/> <xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" ref="MyElement4"/> </xsd:sequence> <xsd:attribute name="scope" use="required"> <xsd:simpleType> <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string"> <xsd:enumeration value="scope1"/> <xsd:enumeration value="scope2"/> <xsd:enumeration value="scope3"/> <xsd:enumeration value="scope4"/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> </xsd:attribute> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element> What I want to do is have MyElement3 only allowable in a MyElement1 where scope == scope2 (for example). So have a rule on an element that restricts what element can contain it based on the attribute value. Is this possible? Any pointer to documentation doing something like this? Thanks!

Structuring xs:documentation?
by David Kastrup 10 Jul '07

Hi, I have tried several things for getting an .xsd annotation show a description list with no success: the (XHTML) tags are seemingly just stripped and the whole annotation is formatted as a single block when displayed as a tooltip. Has anybody had success with presenting an xs:annotation in a somewhat structured way in Oxygen 8.2? Thanks, -- David Kastrup
