Saxon-HE/PE/EE Preferences
To configure global options for XQuery transformation and validation scenarios that use the Saxon HE/PE/EE engine, open the Preferences dialog box and go to .
Oxygen XML Author Eclipse plugin allows you to configure the following XQuery options for the Saxon 12.3 Home Edition (HE), Professional Edition (PE), and Enterprise
Edition (EE):
- Use a configuration file ("-config")
- Sets a Saxon 12.3 configuration file that is used for XQuery transformation and validation scenarios.
- Enable Optimizations ("-opt")
- This option is selected by default, which means that optimization is enabled. If not selected, the optimization is suppressed, which is helpful when reducing the compiling time is important, optimization conflicts with debugging, or optimization causes extension functions with side-effects to behave unpredictably.
- Use linked tree model ("-tree:linked")
- This option activates the linked tree model.
- Strip whitespaces ("-strip")
- Specifies how the strip whitespaces operation is handled. You can choose one of
the following values:
- All ("all") - Strips all whitespace text nodes from
source documents before any further processing, regardless of any
@xml:spaceattributes in the source document. - Ignore ("ignorable") - Strips all ignorable
whitespace text nodes from source documents before any further processing,
regardless of any
@xml:spaceattributes in the source document. Whitespace text nodes are ignorable if they appear in elements defined in the DTD or schema as having element-only content. - None ("none") - Strips no whitespace before further processing.
- All ("all") - Strips all whitespace text nodes from
source documents before any further processing, regardless of any
The following option is available for Saxon 12.3 Professional
Edition (PE) and Enterprise Edition (EE) only:
- Allow calls on extension functions ("-ext")
- If selected, calls on external functions are allowed. Selecting this option is not recommended in an environment where untrusted stylesheets may be executed. It also disables user-defined extension elements and the writing of multiple output files, both of which carry similar security risks.
The options available specifically for Saxon 12.3 Enterprise
Edition (EE) are as follows:
- Validation of the source file ("-val")
- Requests schema-based validation of the source file and of any files read using
document()or similar functions. It can have the following values:- Schema validation ("strict") - This mode requires an XML Schema and allows for parsing the source documents with strict schema-validation enabled.
- Lax schema validation ("lax") - If an XML Schema is provided, this mode allows for parsing the source documents with schema-validation enabled but the validation will not fail if, for example, element declarations are not found.
- Disable schema validation - This specifies that the source documents should be parsed with schema-validation disabled.
- Validation errors in the result tree treated as warnings ("-outval")
-
Normally, if validation of result documents is requested, a validation error is fatal. Selecting this option causes such validation failures to be treated as warnings.
- Write comments for non-fatal validation errors of the result document
- The validation messages for non-fatal errors are written (wherever possible) as a comment in the result document itself.
- Enable XQuery update ("-update:(on|off)")
-
This option controls whether or not XQuery update syntax is accepted. The default value is off.
- Backup files updated by XQuery ("-backup:(on|off)")
- If selected, backup versions for any XML files updated with an XQuery Update are generated. This option is available when the Enable XQuery update option is selected.
