Failing build with excluded topics
by Loreti, Wendy 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

I'm not sure why this is occurring: I have a few topics excluded by a ditaval file, and now, when I build, it's causing a java.io.FileNotFoundException: [xslt] [DOTX031E][ERROR]: The file file:///C:/p4_perforce1666_WLORETI/redbird/ide/main/com.vocollect.voiceb uilder.help.dita/temp/../../voice-app-schema.xml is not available to resolve link information.

Re: [oXygen-user] scenario shows "access is denied" error; new scenario fixes it; why?
by Robert Nagle 26 Aug '09

I do not have any zipping application open while this is happening. In fact, I'm pretty sure no other application has these files open except for Oxygen (at least to my knowledge) except for the Firefox browser (and occasionally I have Windows Explorer open to the output directory). In my opinion, what is happening is definitely the result of Oxygen doing something weird on my machine. Now that I know how to deal with it, it doesn't bother/scare me. It just seems weird. rj Robert Nagle > > Message: 2 > Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2009 10:30:07 +0300 > From: Sorin Ristache <sorin(a)oxygenxml.com> > Subject: Re: [oXygen-user] scenario shows "access is denied" error; > new scenario fixes it; why? > To: oxygen-user(a)oxygenxml.com > Message-ID: <4A9392FF.4090607(a)oxygenxml.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed > > Oxygen does not lock the output files of the transformation. > > Maybe the zip application locks the files.

scenario shows "access is denied" error; new scenario fixes it; why?
by Robert Nagle 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

I'm not sure what I'm asking here, so bear with me. I don't think the problem is related to my xml project but Oxygen itself. I'm processing a docbook 5 file with xincludes, a customization layer, a title.xsl. I'm using 1.7.5.2 to use the epub output. I'm using oxygen to generate the html output which I will then manually zip into an epub file. I've created a custom transform scenario to use a custom xsl (which references the epub/docbook.xsl file and includes a few parameters). This probably is not relevant. I have to specify the location of a directory for the epub output using a parameter. The project validates, and most of the time everything works fine. But sometimes I get a cryptic error message "access is denied". I get this message even if I have made no changes to any of the source. Sometimes deleting the output files will "fix" the problem. A few days ago I discovered that creating a new scenario entirely from scratch for my scenario will fix the problem. That leads me to believe that there is something wrong with the .xpr file itself. Why does this sort of thing occur and how can I prevent it? Is the solution simply to create a brand new project and add your source to it again? I'm on Vista 64. Thanks.

scenario shows "access is denied" error; new scenario fixes it; why?
by Robert Nagle 24 Aug '09

I am sure that the application has write permissions for that directory. (Because as I said, most of the time, it is able to work just fine). Maybe there is a lock on a file by Oxygen or Windows Explorer. . What is > the full path that is obtained from the relative path from the error > message? I:\My Documents\xml\rj3\output\OEBPS it's in user space. Does the folder output/OEBPS exist or must be created by the > transformer? I am not 100% sure, but I think I created the OEBPS folder originally. Update: I just tested again without the OEBPS folder existing, and it created it again. If it exists what are the write permissions for that > folder? permissions for the OEBPS folder for Authenticated Users are modify/read/execute/list folder contents/read/write Does the current Windows user have write permission for that folder? As I said, I feel pretty sure that there is something about Oxygen that causes this to happen (because if I create the same transformation from scratch, I can usually get past the Access problem). I have stopped and restarted Oxygen when this state occurs. I have NOT found that starting the program will solve the problem. The only solution is creating a new but identical transformation. For example, I just now created a new project consisting of the same assets. the first time i ran the epub transform for docbook, things went fine. The second time (15 seconds later, without any changes!), I ran it again, with the same error message. It's an intermittent error and I can't find a situation that always reproduces it. But once it happens, the only way to resolve it is to create a new transformation. I created a new transform with the same exact stylesheet, and things worked fine. The only slightly weird thing about my project is that I'm having to re-generate a xsl file from a docbook template (outside of the project). But that shouldn't have an effect on what's happening. Another thing. When comparing the xpr files from the original project with the one I just created with the same files, I notice that the first xpr file contains a lot of info about transforms, whereas the second xpr does NOT contain any references to transforms. But the error message has occurred for both projects. I know this problem must have you scratching your heads.... One of my reasons for mentioning it here is to help any Oxygen user with the same problem.

Automatic Update to Catalog List?
by Eliot Kimber 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

I have development projects that use catalogs to map unresolvable URLs for XSLT components to local locations. I of course add those catalogs manually. It occurs to me that it would be useful for other developers on these projects if I could automate the addition of the catalogs to Oxygen (e.g., via an Ant task). Is there an easy way to do this?

Re: [oXygen-user] removing xmlns:saxon attributes in output?
by Robert Nagle 19 Aug '09

Ok, the problem turned out to be unrelated to oxygen or docbook. I was using Firefox's firebug plugin to examine the code and css. I didn't realize that the html source shown by Firebug does not correspond exactly to the actual source. In this case, the code I copied came from the firebug debug window.

docbook + xincludes + xref? removing xmlns:saxon attributes in output?
by Robert Nagle 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

Hi, I have two problems with my chunked HTML output on a docbook 5 project. PROBLEM 1 If your project uses xincludes with docbook, is Oxygen supposed to validate the xref links? I just tried my first xref link and am getting validation errors for xml files containing xrefs even though the XSL for html chunking/epub chunking runs fine. (i.e., I can see the hyperlink in the html output). Only Oxgen gives a validation error. In er1.xml (which is a chapter) I have this line <para> See also <xref linkend="interlude1"/></para> In i1.xml (which is a chapter) , I have this <chapter xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" version="5.0" xml:id="interlude1"> <title>Interlude Essay 1 <author> <personname>Robert Nagle</personname> </author> </title> <para> ..... </chapter> SystemID: I:\My Documents\xml\rj3\er1.xml Engine name: oNVDL Severity: error Description: IDREF "interlude1" without matching ID Start location: 253:49 PROBLEM 2. I'm trying to figure out why the html output for chunked html files looks like this (see below). First, why is there a reference to saxon here? How do I turn this off? (Does Oxygen or docbook use some parameter that is causing this to appear? Any guess why it would make every paragraph an aref with an id which corresponds with the xml:id of the chapter element? <p> <a id="interlude1" xmlns:saxon="http://icl.com/saxon">"You have nothing to worry about."</a> </p> Thanks for your help.

Speaking of help... I downloaded and installed 10.3 on my WinXP Pro machine the other day and discovered that the formatting in the online help files has gone, well, wild... Really big fonts of random sizes everywhere. Unfortunately, even though I'm one to boost fonts, these fonts are way too big to do any onscreen reading. Is this a glitch or a known problem?

Problem with Oxygen creating html help
by Jan Nylund 14 Aug '09

14 Aug '09

Hello! A college is having some issues in creating chm files from oxygen with using the DITA Scenarios. He's running oXygen 10.3 on Windows Vista Ultimate. When creating a scenario and converting, it fails on not finding the hhc.exe file in "C:\Program Files\Help Workshop\hhc.exe". This is completely correct, as hhc is located in "C:\Program Files\HTML Help Workshop\hhc.exe". The wrong path is automatically included by oXygen when running a dita transformation if the transtype is set to htmlhelp. The end of the call to dita-ot contains "-DHTMLHelpCompiler=C:\Program Files\Help Workshop\hhc.exe". DITA-OT throws an error message that it's not possible to reassign an already set property. hhc.dir is correctly set but HTMLHelpCompiler is overridden by the parameter from oxygen. I can't find the reason for this parameter being added, so it would be nice if you can tell me where to start looking. Br, Jan -- Jan Nylund Senior System Designer Citec Information Oy Ab
