Re: [Exist-open] Debugging XSL containing xmldb:exist:/// with oXygen

[Radu C. <rad...@sy...>]

Hi Len,

This may not work, but here it goes:

Open in Oxygen XML Editor an XML file from the Exist repository (I 
assume you have configured the Exist repository as a datasource 
connection in Oxygen).

Right click on the opened XML file's tab and choose "Copy Location", 
then paste it in a text editor, the pasted URL should look like this:

> oxygen:/..../db/path/to/file.xml
Then you can create somewhere on disk a "catalog.xml" file having the 
content something like:

> <catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog">
>     <delegateURI uriStartString="xmldb:exist:///db/" 
> catalog="oxygen:/..../db/"/>
> </catalog>
And in the Oxygen Preferences->"XML Catalogs" page add a reference to 
this new "catalog.xml" file.

The main idea is that the Saxon XSLT processor resolves doc() paths 
through the XML catalog "uri" mappings to the corresponding Oxygen 
repository URL and is thus able to retrieve the XML file to access it.

Regards,

Radu
