Follow these steps for creating a validation scenario:
-
Open the Configure Validation Scenario dialog from menu
or from the toolbar of the
Oxygen XML Author plugin
plugin.
The following dialog is displayed. It contains the following types of scenarios:
- Default validation scenario validates the input using
Oxygen XML Author plugin
default
validation options that apply to the type of the current document;
- Predefined scenarios are organized in categories depending on the type of
file they apply to and can be easily identified by a yellow key icon that marks them
as read-only. If the predefined scenario is the framework's default scenario
its name is written in bold font. If you try to edit one of these scenarios,
Oxygen XML Author plugin
creates a
customizable duplicate;
- User defined scenarios are organized under a single category, but you can use
the drop-down option box to filter them by the type of file they validate.
-
Press the New button to add a new scenario.
-
Press the Add button to add a new validation unit with default
settings.
The dialog that lists all validation units of the scenario is opened.
The table holds the following information:
- URL of the file to validate - The URL of the main module
which includes the current module. It is also the entry module of the validation
process when the current one is validated.
- File type - The type of the document validated in the current
validation unit.
Oxygen XML Author plugin
automatically selects the file type depending on the value of the URL of
the file to validate field.
- Validation engine - One of the engines available in
Oxygen XML Author plugin
for
validation of the type of document to which the current module belongs.
Default engine is the default setting and means that the
validation is done by the default engine set in Preferences pages for the type of the
current document (XML document, XML Schema, XSLT stylesheet, XQuery file, etc) instead
of a validation scenario.
- Automatic validation - If this option is checked, then the
validation operation defined by this row of the table is applied also by
the automatic validation feature.
If the Automatic validation feature is
disabled in Preferences
then this option does not take effect as the Preference setting
has higher priority.
- Schema - Active when you set the File
type to XML Document.
- Settings - Contains an action that allows you to set a
schema, when validating XML documents, or a list of extensions when validating XSL or
XQuery documents.
-
Edit the URL of the main validation module.
Specify the URL of the main module:
- browsing for a local, remote or archived file;
- using an editor variable or a
custom editor variable,
available in the following pop-up menu, opened after pressing the
button:
Insert an Editor Variable
-
Select the type of the validated document.
Note that it determines the list of possible validation engines.
-
Select the validation engine.
-
Select the Automatic validation option if you want to validate
the current unit when automatic validation
feature is turned on in Preferences.
-
Choose what schema is used during validation: the one detected after parsing the
document or a custom one.
