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?
by Eliot Kimber 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

I looked in the help and poked around in the options but I didn't see anything that determines whether or not a new document created from a template will open in Author mode or Text mode or Grid mode. Is there a way to control this? My desire is to have new templates 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.

switch off: auto self-standing tag function
by Takako Kato 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

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? Best Regards, George -- George Cristian Bina <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com

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). Thank you, Paul Ryan Email pryan(a)infotrustgroup.com<mailto:pryan@infotrustgroup.com>

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/
