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.

Plugin Failure at Startup When Used In Previous Editing Session
by Eliot Kimber 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

I have my plugin minimally working now but I'm running into a problem. If I edit a file using my plug-in and, with that file still open in the editor, close Oxygen, then when I open Oxygen again, I get a "Plugins-Errors" message box from Oxygen indicating an InvocationTargetException on my plug in class and these messages in the log: 1 WARN [ main ] ro.sync.G.W - Invalid field : systemID for class ro.sync.exml.I.B.A. ro.sync.G.B: Invalid serialized URL : rsuite:/.manageable-objects/6 1 WARN [ main ] ro.sync.G.W - Skip invalid object ro.sync.G.D: Missing system ID in the mark location. 1362 WARN [ main ] ro.sync.G.W - Invalid field : defaultScenario for class ro.sync.exml.I._.B.U. java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space 4270 DEBUG [ main ] com.reallysi.rsuite.client.oxygen.RSuiteUriProtocolPlugin - in getURLSTreamHandlder(), returning new RSuiteUriProtocolHandler(): 13297080 And then a lot of these: 10967 DEBUG [ main ] com.reallysi.rsuite.client.oxygen.RSuitePlugin - In RSuitePlugin constructor 10968 ERROR [ main ] com.reallysi.rsuite.client.oxygen.RSuitePlugin - instance member variable is not null, throwing IllegalStateException But I'm not getting any messages from any other components of my plug-in so I'm not sure what I should be doing to prevent this failure.

Javadoc for extensions API?
by Martin Holz 05 Nov '07

05 Nov '07

Hello, is there some API reference for ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.AuthorOperation and related classes available? Chapter 6 of the users manual is nice, but not enough and the OxygenPluginsDevelopmentKit.zip does not contain the "authors extensions". Thanks Martin

Hello, Is there a way to batch edit files? For example, I'd like to add the line: "<dcvalue element="x" qualifier="y">zzzz</dcvalue> To each of the 1000 files I have in a specific directory. Is this possible? Thanks, Uri Kolodney The University of Texas Libraries

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.

Also re: XQuery

I'd also like to know if there is some way one can assign the current file to a "for" variable to output it... I'd like the XQuery to be able to identify from which file it has gotten each result as it outputs the results... Brett

For debugging, I want to turn on the Log4J logging I have in my plugin components. How exactly do I do this for a plugin? Thanks, Eliot -- W.
