Oxygen XML Editor 8.2
May 7, 2007
Native XML Database Support
XQuery Debugger Support
Oxygen XML Editor brought the first XQuery debugger against a native XML
database allowing users of the MarkLogic 3.2 (or higher) database to debug their XQuery
code based on the MarkLogic Server 3.2 (or higher) XQuery debugging API.
Support for the Native XML Storage for Oracle
In addition to organizing the XML data in tables, Oracle offers a logical
grouping of the XML resources in collections. You can open and edit documents using the
database explorer available in the database perspective. The resources subtree is found
under the node "XML Repository".
Limit the Number of Nodes Displayed in a Very Large Container
An Oracle XML container or a Tamino one can have millions of resources. In
order to improve the performance of browsing a container the maximum number of nodes
displayed in such a container in the Database Explorer view is limited to a configurable
value. The nodes set can be browsed with Up and Down buttons.
Type Selection for the Containers on Berkeley DB
You can choose the type of the containers you want to create from the database
browser. There are supported both the "Wholedoc" type containers and the "Node" type
containers.
Delete XML Instances from a Tamino doctype
The XML instances stored in a Tamino doctype can be
deleted.
Support for the Tamino System Collection
Tamino system collections can be browsed using the database
explorer.
Filter XML instances of a Tamino doctype
An XQuery predicate can be set as filter for the XML instances of a Tamino
doctype presented in Database Explorer view.
Support for Output Parameters in Stored Procedures
Output parameters are supported for stored procedures executed on a database of
type IBM DB2, SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL.
ISO Schematron Support
Validation
Editor Improvements
The Attribute Displayed in the Outline View Is Configurable
The Outline view displays a tree structure of the document updated in real time
as you edit your file. It also displays some information from the attributes or from the
text content for each element. Oxygen has a priority list with attribute names and
uses that to determine what attribute to display instead of presenting the first
attribute. This allows a better insight of the document structure from the Outline view as
you can easily see the relevant information.
Shows the XPath of the Current Element
The XPath panel and the XPath Builder view can show the XPath that matches the
element at the current cursor position. The expression is updated as you move the cursor
through the document. For instance, if you are inside a title inside a section inside
article you will see "article/section/title" and executing that will show in the XPath
results panel all the first level sections titles from your article. The XPath expression
is useful also to give you a quick hint of your position in the document.
Option to Open the XML Files Directly into the Grid Editing Mode
You can specify the default opening mode for the XML files:
Text or Grid. Thus if you are mainly working with data
files that are better suited for a table layout you can open them directly in the
Grid editing mode.
Improvements for the WSDL SOAP Analyzer
Access Resources on FTP / SFTP / WebDAV Servers from the Eclipse Plugin
The Eclipse plugin distribution of Oxygen is also able to browse FTP / SFTP
/ WebDAV servers and open and save files on such servers.
Support for OASIS XML Catalogs Version 1.1
The latest version of the OASIS XML Catalogs specification is supported.
Catalog elements such as systemIdSuffix and uriSuffix are recognized in XML catalog files.
This makes possible the resolution of relative locations.
Option for Browsing Application Bundles as Directories on Mac OS X
The option allows browsing application bundles as directories on Mac OS
X.
Pretty-Print
Pretty-Print JavaScript Files
The format and indent action can be applied on JavaScript files. There are
several options to control the formatting, such as preserving or removing empty lines, and
the position of the start curly bracket.

it.
