<p class=MsoNormal>Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am getting empty attribute errors and I think it is the
same issue I found here:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>http://tech.dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/dita-users/message/29761<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Where you say:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><i>It is actually an error within
the XT parser that started in later versions of<br>
Java. We have tried (in vain) to report this but since XT was written long<br>
before 64-bit even existed and the folks in Oracle/Java do not think changes<br>
they made actually are an issue, RenderX is looking to replace the use of XT<br>
parser for validation of XSL FO in the future release.<br>
<br>
At any rate, unless you are actually "debugging" changes you are
making to XSL<br>
style sheets, you really have no need to validate the XSL FO. You should have<br>
validation turned off.<br>
<br>
You can:<br>
<br>
a) use -valid command line switch, or<br>
b) Set the VALIDATE option in xep.xml to "false" (no errors in FO are
reported<br>
at all), or<br>
c) Set the VALIDATE option in xep.xml to "true" and set the
DISCARD_IF_NOT_VALID<br>
option to "false" which would report these *and* other errors, but
still go on<br>
and process the XSL FO.<br>
<br>
The attributes do exist and are not empty, they are only reported as such<br>
randomly by XT through some issue in changes made to Java.<br>
</i><br>

RenderX</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>However, I am not sure where and how to add the VALIDATE
option to my xep.xml file. It's not currently there at all, so I want to
make sure I add it to the correct place. Also, I think I want to use the
third option you list above, so that I get the errors but they don't cause the
job to fail. I have pasted the options sections of my xep.xml below, so if you
could show me what i need to add and where, that would be great. <o:p></o:p></p>
