How to configure eXist support on <oXygen/>

• 1. Configure an eXist data source in Preferences.
• 2. Configure an eXist connection in Preferences.
• 3. Configure eXist as main validator for XQuery files.

  Go to Preferences->XML->XSLT/FO/XQuery->XQuery and set eXist for XQuery validation. Additionally you can set the other options.

• 4. Validate XQuery.

  After step 3, you will benefit of the automatic validation feature and you can use Validate button to get a list of validation errors.

• 5. Execute XQuery.

  Go to associated scenario configuration and select eXist as the transformation engine.

Notes:

1. Validation (points 3 and 4) works only with the development snapshot of eXist database. In order to take advantage of it, you should check-out the current CVS sources (http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=17691) and make your own build (after check-out just run ant). For previous versions (eXist-1.0b2 or the current eXist-snapshot-20060124.jar kit available on eXist site) you will get an warning that the validation operation is not available.

2. Collection/resource management can be done using WebDAV (see http://wiki.exist-db.org/space/WebDAV , oxygenXML section)
