TL;DR: In this paper, a debugging mechanism is proposed to enable a user to specify one or more breakpoints at a particular location in the transformation document or a source document using an expression, or based upon XSL messages.

Abstract: A mechanism for debugging a transformation document is disclosed, wherein a debugging mechanism interacts with a user interface to enable a user to specify one or more breakpoints. The user may specify a breakpoint at a particular location in the transformation document or a source document. In addition, the user may specify one or more breakpoints using an expression, or based upon XSL messages. In addition to interacting with the user interface, the debugging mechanism also interacts with a transformation processor, which is the mechanism that actually processes the source and transformation documents to derive a result document. Before and after each processing action, the transformation processor sends a pre-action and a post-action message, respectively, to the debugging mechanism. The debugging mechanism uses the information in these messages to determine whether a breakpoint has been reached. If a breakpoint has been reached, then processing of the documents is halted until further instruction is received from the user. In this manner, the user is able to see intermediate processing results, which aids in debugging the transformation document.

- 06 Apr 2005
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and apparatus for translating queries such as path expressions and SQL/XML constructs into SQL statements to be executed against an XML index, which improves processor time as opposed to applying path expressions directly to the original XML documents to extract the desired information.

- 09 Sep 2004
TL;DR: In this article, a system for debugging targets using various techniques, some of which are particularly useful in a multithread environment, is presented, such as implementing breakpoints using out-of-line instruction emulation so that an instruction replaced with a breakpoint instruction does not need to be returned to its original location for single-step execution.

TL;DR: In this paper, an execution monitoring tool, a method and a computer program product for monitoring execution of an hierarchical visual program is presented. But the execution progress reports are sent to an execution controller which maps the report data to its own representation of the hierarchical program to determine the current position within an execution program.
