[oXygen-user] XInclude and WebDAV

[Adrian Buza]

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us.

I can confirm this behavior with an eXist connection in Oxygen, but I'm 
not sure what's causing it.
This is easy to reproduce in Oxygen by importing in the eXist database 
one of the Oxygen XInclude samples. Import the directory: 
Oxygen/samples/docbook/v5. The sample XInclude file is named: 
sampleXInclude.xml

Oxygen does not expand the XIncludes by itself. If you open a document 
with XInclude from WebDAV in Oxygen you will see(in Text mode) the 
document is not affected. However, when using an eXist connection, the 
document that Oxygen requests from the eXist database has all XIncludes 
already expanded. This indicates that the eXist JDBC driver delivers the 
document already expanded. Or maybe Oxygen solicits it from the driver 
in a way that causes it to be expanded. I'm not familiar with the inner 
workings of the eXist driver so I'll have to forward this to our 
database development team.

Regards,
Adrian
