[Framers] XML Application "x" does not exist

Tue Aug 2 14:56:23 PDT 2022

Hi Lynne,

I am using the default structapps.fm file and there is defined Doctype, Template file, and DTD file. What's different from other simple apps is that I have not specified a RW file and Stylesheets and Entities are new. I copied this definition below as XSLT-Sample.

At the moment, I cannot understand how FM is aware of my EDD file. When I update the EDD file, I import its element defs into my template file, then I attempt to save my EDD as a DTD, which gives the error. If I change the EDD's StructuredApplication value to another application in my structapps (i.e., eclipse), then it saves the DTD. After that, I change the EDD app declaration back to XSLT-Sample. Then I save all files and restart FM.

When I open an XML file that is declaring the XSLT DTD, I get a dialog that lists only the XSLT-Sample and eclipse apps - the one I'm trying to build and the one I used temporarily in my EDD. Since the DTD doesn't have any information about eclipse, I'm not sure if there is some data/association stored deeply in FM. The XML opens according to the app I select. I can set the current structured application to XSLT-Sample. I cannot edit global application definition due to permission issue.

Does it matter that XSLT-Sample specifies the same doctype as eclipse?

Application name: XSLT-sample

Thanks C2

Hi All,

Rick and Lynne helped me a while back on XSLT for reading an XML file into a structured application. I could not get it to work because of the application definitions had errors. I think I still have some errors in the structapps file declaring this application. When saving the EDD as a DTD, I get the error message in the subject line. Am I missing something or have something improperly defined?

Application name:?XSLT-sample
DOCTYPE:????ScpiParser
Template:???C:\FMStructure\eclipse\XSLT-Sample-Template.fm
DTD:??C:\FMStructure\eclipse\XSLT-Sample.dtd
XSLT Preferences:?
Preprocessing:????
Stylesheet:?C:\FMStructure\eclipse\XSLT-Sample-In.xsl
Postprocessing:???
Stylesheet:?C:\FMStructure\eclipse\XSLT-Sample-Out.xsl
Entity locations
Public ID:  //c2/xslt-sample/ScpiParser
Filename:  C:\FMStructure\eclipse\XSLT-Sample.dtd

The translation is to simply convert all element attributes to child elements since all content is in an attribute, and that translation works. All child elements now have data, but I do not want some of those elements to show. I've tried to make them as an Index or add an exclusion to the element. What usually happens is the content either comes out of the element tags or there is a missing end tag. Is there a way to toss the element data into some non-printing state?

Element (Marker): ClassName
Initial marker type
In all contexts.
Use marker type: Index

Thanks, C2

C2,

 ? It sounds like the problem is not that your new application doesn't
work, but it either isn't define correctly or you haven't read the
definition. Make sure the new application is defined correctly and has
that the definition has been processed before any further debugging.

 ? Open any file and use the Structure > Set Structured Application
command. Is your application listed? If not, where did you define it?
You can easily open the default location for application definitions
with Structure > Application Definition > Edit Application Definitions.
Is that where your definition is? If not, did you create the definition
in a file that uses the same template as the default one.

 ?You can put your own definition in another file, but it will not be
available until you open that file and use Structure > Application
Definition > Read Application Definitions. While FrameMaker reads the
default application definition file each time it starts, you need to
read another file in each session before its definitions become available.
