I would like to start learning and using Saxon SA's ability to do some checking of XML structures, now that Saxon SA is included with Oxygen 10. I understand that Saxon SA is able to do this kind of processing, including at least basic arithmetic. If I've been misled, please let me know. I do have a...

Sorin, Thanks for the info. I'm not sure about the frequency of double-clicking. Of course, we cannot rule out "operator error", that is, my mistakes or mis-perceptions. I've been confused about the 2 panes in the past when opening files. It doesn't happen too often, but I never know how i...

This is all running on my local PC, so I wouldn't think a firewall is involved. My Windows XP shortcut for Oxygen 10 does not have the -Dcom parameter specified. Is there another way for multiple instances to be set? Also, sometimes when I double-click to open a file, the file is opened in a new pan...

Here's a somewhat related question: Sometimes when I double-click on an .xml file to open it with Oxygen, a second instance of Oxygen will start, instead of using the currently running Oxygen window. Oxygen 10 is getting run in both windows, but I'm wondering how to get the file to open in the first...

Sorin, Correct, CCleaner seemed to make things work better. I can't claim positively that it was the sole fix, but it seems to me that it did the job. There was probably some registry issue that prevented me from making the .xml file association with Oxygen. CCleaner does check for registry problems...

I had a similar problem sometime after installing Oxygen 10. I don't know just when I started having trouble. But, in Windows Explorer, I would double-click on a file with type ".xml", and it would open in Internet Explorer. Not what I wanted! I can't remember during installation of Oxygen...

I am hoping it is possible to use the Oxygen 10 command line to invoke a transformation on an XML source file. Is this possible, and if so, what options and parameters are needed? Essentially, we'd like to be able to run an "Apply Transformation Scenario" from the command line on a given f...

Using a "Project" was the answer.

Even though we don't use projects, I opened the sample project:
<oxygen directory>/samples/sample.xpr

Then when I open files, exit Oxygen, and restart Oxygen, my files get reopened.

Thanks for your help.

Christmas vacation has delayed my reply.

I've sent a message via your support web page, so you should be getting a notification soon.

Thanks, Mike

Dear Iulian, All the files are local, on my C: drive in Windows XP. Normally I have about 6-8 files opened in tabs in Oxygen. None of the files belong to any project. They are all "independent" files, but under the same main directory on my C: drive. Any changes to the contents of the file...

In Oxygen 9.3, previously open files were reopened when Oxygen was restarted (say, when starting the day's work activities). Oxygen 10 is not opening any files for me when I start it. I have this box checked: Options -> Preferences -> Global -> Open last edited files from project Is there a way to h...

Can the Oxygen "Format and Indent" operation be performed from the command line? I have some XML files generated by another tool, and would like to automatically format them after they're generated. I'd rather not use any kind of 'format on open' option, since I don't want that to happen f...

Got it! I wasn't using the External Validation to get Schematron involved. After viewing George's demo: http://www.oxygenxml.com/demo/schematronValidation/schematron.html and then refining my schema, I got things to work. Thanks a lot for the example above. Once I correctly converted it to my namesp...

I've modified my schema to include the Schematron elements you suggested (modified by my namespace, etc.). However, the Schematron assertion doesn't seem get tested. I used the assertion (where your RBFMElement assertion was placed) <sch:assert test="12 > 99"/> which didn't fail as I thoug...

I'm still not clear on why my schema above is failing. I was hoping I was close to the example below from chapter 13 of Patricia Walmsley's book Definitive XML Schema. Can't I intermix RBFMElements with the RBElements? I'm not seeing the critical difference. [Side note: We don't have access to Saxon...

I'm using XML Schema. (In Oxygen, how do I tell which version of XML Schema I'm using, and how do I use schema version 1.1?) I think I might want something like: <xs:complexType name="BEType"> <xs:complexContent> <xs:extension base="t:RSEType"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name=&quo...

We're using XSL for some transformations using Oxygen 9.1. Some of our transformations are taking longer than desired. Is there an execution profiler, or something similar, which would allow us to try to determine where the transformations are spending their time? Can we find "hot spots" t...

I have a working schema for data that we use, and want to expand it to do more checking on the XML elements. We have a particular data element, say <FM>, that does not have to appear in our data, but if it does, it must appear at least twice, and possibly more. That is, I want to detect a singular o...

I was thinking of XML schema aware validation during XSLT transformations. Since we don't have Saxon 9SA, that option is out for the moment. I had seen this web page: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-schemaxslt.html which uses <xsl:import-schema schema-location="po1.xsd"/> a...

Is it possible to validate XML files during an XSL transformation before actually performing the transformations? That is, I'd like to make sure the input XML file is valid before trying to process it. I would know which schema to use. Although the XML files should have been validated before the tra...

I switched to JVM jre1.6.0_05 and things worked much better. The printer is a networked one, so I assume the driver is current. Anyway, this may explain previous crashes, and certainly helped yesterday. Because Oxygen is using a JVM beyond its control, I don't suppose Oxygen can detect a printing pr...

Has anyone had a problem with Oxygen crashing and disappearing from the Windows desktop when printing XML files? I'm not sure of all of the conditions. There may have been a problem with my networked printer earlier today, but even after that, Oxygen crashed when printing an XML file using the File ...

I have been able to set LIBXML as the custom validator for several XML files. It's pretty much a one time thing for each file, but I'll have to remember it for each new file. Not a big problem. Thanks to George, Radu, Dan, and any others behind the scenes. Things are better now. I also know I hadn't...

Thanks! I was able to setup the LIBXML validation engine, and got all the error messages. Since LIBXML is a custom validation engine, it appears that I have to setup the custom validation for each XML file I want to validate. Is there a way to make LIBXML the automatic default for future XML files a...

George,

Would you mind letting me know how to send you a private email so I don't have to post my files in public?

I'll try to send a reduced pair of files to demonstrate the problem.

Thanks, Mike

Thanks for looking into it. I was concerned that I wasn't doing things quite right in the schema, or had some tool setting wrong.

Hope it isn't too bad to work on.

Thanks again,
Mike

I've successfully defined some keys and keyrefs in a schema for my data. One section of data has several out-of-bounds data values in it, but the appropriate keyref and Oxygen 9.1 only gives an error on the first occurance of an error. When I fix that error, the next one is flagged with an error mes...

Dear jkmyoung and George, In trying to simplify my example, I simplified too much. Please note that I did try preceding as well as preceding-sibling in my first try. My error: Namespaces! I needed count(preceding::mynamespace:C) Sorry about the confusion, and many thanks for your patience as you ste...

I just get '0' for each "F" element processed.

count(preceding-sibling::C) did no better.

Thanks, Mike

I have an element structure like the one below. When processing "F" elements, I'd like to count which "C" element I'm in when processing each "F". I think this would be like counting previous "C" siblings when processing "F", but I can't figure out t...
