XQuery Validation

With Oxygen XML Editor Eclipse plugin, you can validate your documents before using them in your transformation scenarios. The validation uses the Saxon 12.3 PE, EE, or HE processor, or you can use some database engines (such as MarkLogic or eXist) if you installed them. Any other XQuery processor that offers an XQJ API implementation can also be used. This is in conformance with the XQuery Working Draft. The processor is used in two cases: validation of the expression and execution. Although the execution implies a validation, it is faster to check the expression syntactically, without executing it. The errors that occurred in the document are presented in the messages view at the bottom of editor window, with a full description message. As with all error messages, if you click an entry, the line where the error appeared is highlighted.

When you open an XQuery document from a connection that supports validation (for example, MarkLogic, or eXist), by default Oxygen XML Editor Eclipse plugin uses this connection for validation. If you open an XQuery file using a MarkLogic connection, the validation resolves imports better.
