XSL validation bug

[Amaneddine]

Hello,
i am using Oxygen under windows 2000, everythig is working well except the validation of xslt code, when trying this feature it shows that the validation is in progress but this does not end and continues infinitely. Moreove, during this infinte validation, we lose the control on other features, and if we try to use another test it refuses to do it and a window appears telling that another operation is in progress.

is it a known bug ?? does someone faced this problem ?
Thank you

Hi,

To validate a stylesheet we create a Transformer object using Xalan. We had one or two reports of validation problems with Xalan, however not as serious as what you describe here. Saxon is in general better or at least it worked without problems in the cases Xalan failed and we decided to make the processor used for XSLT validation configurable so in the next version you will be able to select the XSLT processor used for stylesheets validation from Xalan, Saxon and any other JAXP processor you configure in oXygen.

The current workaround to validate with Saxon for instance is to configure a transformation and choose Saxon as the XSLT engine then apply that transformation. The first step in appying the transformation is to create the Transformer object from the stylesheet, thus a validation will be performed and eventual errors will be reported.

If it is possible please send us your stylesheet at support@oxygenxml.com.

Thank you,
George
