XQuery Tab
When you create a new transformation scenario or edit an existing one, a configuration dialog box is displayed that allows you to customize the transformation with various options in several tabs.
The XQuery tab contains the following options:
- XML URL
- Specifies the source XML file. You can
specify the path by using the text field, its history drop-down, the
Insert Editor
Variables button, or the browsing actions in the 
Browse drop-down list. This URL is resolved through the catalog
resolver. If the catalog does not have a mapping for the URL, then the file is used
directly from its remote location.
Note: If the
transformer engine is Saxon 9.x and a custom URI resolver is configured in the advanced Saxon preferences page, the XML input of the transformation is passed to
that URI resolver.
- XQuery URL
- Specifies the source XQuery file to be used for the transformation. You can
specify the path by using the text field, its history drop-down, the Insert Editor
Variables button, or the browsing actions in the Browse drop-down list. This URL is resolved through the catalog resolver. If
the catalog does not have a mapping for the URL, the file is used directly from its
remote location.
- Transformer
- This drop-down menu presents all the transformation engines available to Oxygen XML Author Eclipse plugin for performing a transformation. These include the built-in engines and the external engines defined in the Custom Engines preferences page. The engine you choose is used as the default transformation engine. Also, if an XSLT or XQuery document does not have an associated validation scenario, this transformation engine is used in the validation process (if it provides validation support).
Advanced options- Allows you to configure the advanced options of the Saxon HE/PE/EE engine for the current transformation scenario. To configure the same options globally, go to the Saxon-HE/PE/EE preferences page. For the current transformation scenario, these Advanced options override the options configured in that preferences page.
- Parameters
- Opens the Configure parameters dialog box for configuring the XQuery parameters. You can use the buttons in this dialog box to add, edit, or remove parameters. If the XQuery transformation engine is custom-defined, you can not use this dialog box to set parameters. Instead, you can copy all parameters from the dialog box using contextual menu actions and edit the custom XQuery engine to include the necessary parameters in the command line that starts the transformation process.
- Extensions
- Opens a dialog box for configuring the XQuery extension JARS or classes that define extension Java functions or extension XSLT elements used in the transformation.
