XML Error Reporting II

XML Error Reporting II 01/22/2004 03:30 PM

Responding to comments in the previous blog entry:

(1) Some people thought this was a hacked expat. Darin actually switched Safari over to libxml2, so the error messages you're seeing (as well as the ability to continue parsing) are all built in to libxml2.

(2) Do you think it's better to show the page only up to the first error or to try to display the entire page (with the understanding that what follows the first error could be very badly mangled)?

(3) Often there are a lot of meaningless errors after the first. I could put a cap on the number of displayed errors to deal with this problem or just not worry about it. What do people think?

(4) Those of you who suggested drawers for errors, remember a drawer is a UI element in Safari and not WebKit. This feature should just work out of the box for WebKit clients, so I'm inclined not to use drawers or sheets, but to just display the errors at the top of the page.

XML Error Reporting III

XML Error Reporting III 01/24/2004 02:50 PM

Thanks to those of you who answered my question regarding how much of an invalid page should be rendered. It turns out that the XML spec is clear on this issue, and that I must stop building up the page DOM after the first fatal error is encountered.

With that in mind I now tell libxml to continue the processing, but I start ignoring all of the callbacks. That way I get a list of all the errors, but properly stop the DOM tree buildup after the first error.

For those of you who suggested that WebKit needs some sort of error reporting API, I agree, and if it had one, these errors would obviously be reported to it. However, these errors still have to be reported aggressively so that WebKit clients can't mask these mistakes.

I don't believe in showing a sheet or a dialog as an intermediate step prior to displaying a rendering of the page. The reason I dislike this idea is that this error reporting is primarily a Web developer feature, and they're just going to want to load the page, see the errors, maybe correct some CSS at the same time, and then reload with changes until the error report has been eliminated.

The end user isn't ever going to see this report, since anyone who makes an invalid XML file right now ends up with something that won't display in any browser. Thus it seems to me that the report should be easy to access (in terms of # of clicks), always visible, and included with the page rendering.

I have polished the look of the report a bit based off suggestions. Here's another screenshot.

Obtrusive XML Error Reporting

Obtrusive XML Error Reporting 01/22/2004 04:10 AM

I spent some time tinkering with XML today and decided to try out a non-draconian approach to XML error recovery. Point the browser of your choice at the following XHTML URL:

http://www.faireal.net/soft/browser/XHTML-In validator?Content-Type=application/xhtml+xml

If you try this in Mozilla, you should get something like this:

Screenshot

In current versions of Safari, you get something even worse, since you don't even get any line/col information.

What I implemented in my build (it's still just at the tinkering stage remember, so be gentle) is error recovery for non-fatal errors, i.e., the XML parser continues and attempts to recover from the error, and then I still build the DOM for the XML.

Once the parser is finished, I then display the Web page, but with a badge of shame, namely an error report at the top that lists all of the discovered errors. This is not a halt-at-first-error system, which is cool, since it means you'll see *all* the errors in your page and not just one.

Here's a screenshot of what I have so far. The error report is just XHTML as well (shoehorned in at the top using DOM calls), so if you have any ideas of how I could style it to make it look really cool, show me your screenshots.

Let me know what you think of this idea. Do you like it better than draconian error handling? If you dislike it, let me know why!

Microsoft Corp. today announced public availability of Windows® Rights Management Services (RMS), information protection technology for Windows Server (TM) 2003 that helps enterprises and organizations safeguard their sensitive digital information from unauthorized use. RMS allows information workers to distribute information within their organizations and define how and under what circumstances it can be used, such as when it expires and who can open, modify, print and forward it. The ability to express and enforce document-level protection will allow organizations to internally share information more broadly, with less risk of inadvertent or intentional misuse.

Disabling Windows AutoRun

Disabling Windows AutoRun 06/29/2004 08:33 PM

How-To Tuesday: Disable AutoRun on Windows!: Some good advice here.

The "feature" will, by default, automatically look for a file called Autorun.inf on any CD you pop in to your system — if it finds it, it will execute whatever programs it is instructed. This is a big security issue, as there are a lot of spywares and viruses distributed on CDs — so much so, in fact, Microsoft is disabling it in their next security-focused Windows XP Service Pack 2.

Endgadet's Phillip Torrone sez: "By default Windows will automatically look for a file called Autorun.inf on any CD you pop in to your system, we’ve always known this is a big security issue as there are a lot of spyware and viruses distributed on CDs, you read about this every week. In fact, Microsoft is even disabling this in their next security focused service pack. Add to that, record companies are adding Autorun software which won't allow Windows users to make MP3s from the CDs they've purchased. So in an effort to protect people from Spyware, viruses and other nasty things we're suggesting everyone disables autorun." Link

Using an ADO.NET DataSet as a Reporting
Services Data Source

Using an ADO.NET DataSet as a Reporting
Services Data Source 09/26/2004 05:45 AM
Reporting Services provides access to SQL Server, Oracle, ODBC, and OLE DB data sources as part of its standard features. For many reporting scenarios, connecting to a database and running a query is all that is needed to get all the information you need to report upon. But what happens if you want to use a DataSet as your data source? For example, maybe you already have a middle tier that processes your data to conform to your business logic and produces a DataSet as a result. Or maybe you don't, but you nonetheless want to manipulate your raw data prior to reporting in ways that are a better fit for a Microsoft Visual Basic or C# implementation than a SQL implementation, and a DataSet would be the logical end result of such processing. Well, fortunately, it is possible to do this. It is even relatively easy, once you work out what parts of the data processing extension interfaces really have to be implemented to wrap up a DataSet in a way that Reporting Services can use.
