Oxygen XML Forum

I have an XSLT which uses some entities defined in a separate file, which I "include" using the following DOCTYPE:

<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY % wbml_xslt SYSTEM "file:///d:\MYDOCU~1\Work\WBml\wbml_xslt.ent">
%wbml_xslt;
]>

Since I've uninstalled my evaluation copy of oXygen I cannot say for sure, but I seem to recall that oXygen produced an error message that I could only avoid by removing the DOCTYPE.

Now I have a problem when I run the same XSLT with Xalan. Every element that occurs in the XSLT receives an error message: "Element type ... must be declared." This was not the case before I installed oXygen. Evidently this occurs because Xerces, which Xalan is using to parse the XSLT, is validating.

My question: Was anything change during the installation of oXygen that would cause Xalan to tell Xerces to validate the XSLT, or cause Xerces to decide it had to?

Hi Richard,

Oxygen does not change anything on your system, it works with its internal jars. Also we just released a new major version of Oxygen and you can get an updated trial license if you want.

A wild guess will be that you are using a Java that inlcudes an old version of Xalan. See http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/faq.html#faq-N100CC for more details.

Best Regards,
George
