[oXygen-user] Catalog Resolution for DITA conref

[Paul Ryan]

Radu,

Thanks for the quick response. I'm not sure this is the right path however. I tried the next catalog suggestion without any luck. Our group here has dug into the OT code for a solution we are developing and we don't believe this catalog resolution at the point we're talking about has anything to do with OT. As I stated in my previous email we definitely are getting an attempt by oXygen at resolving our URI but we're only seeing a null on the resolution. When we try to resolve any other type of link the resolver log shows something (other than null) for the right hand side of the = on the System ID. Can you please speak to that aspect of the problem (in editor resolution).

The editor is showing the following red error text:

 Error parsing external reference: file:/C:/workspaces/SkyManager2.0Clean/subversion.infotrustgroup.com/documentation/SkySuite/SkyManager/Overview/trunk/src/main/documents/concepts/CopyrightHolder.xml#conceptId/itgcopy.
 Cause: C:\workspaces\SkyManager2.0Clean\subversion.infotrustgroup.com\documentation\SkySuite\SkyManager\Overview\trunk\src\main\documents\concepts\CopyrightHolder.xml (The system cannot find the file specified).

The catalog I'm attempting to use is at:
C:\workspaces\SkyManager2.0Clean\subversion.infotrustgroup.com\documentation\SkySuite\SkyManager\Common\trunk\catalog.xml

The CopyrightHolder.xml file is at:
C:\workspaces\SkyManager2.0Clean\subversion.infotrustgroup.com\documentation\SkySuite\SkyManager\Common\trunk\src\main\documents\concepts\CopyrightHolder.xml

Note: The conref I used for the attempt from my first email was:
        <copyright conref="CopyrightHolder.xml#conceptId/itgcopy"><copyryear
                year="year_1cefd135-86f1-47fc-b34e-7124c5d72d76"/><copyrholder/></copyright>

Thank you again for your help,

Dear Paul,

Thank you for contacting us.

Where are you referring the catalog from?
Adding the catalog in the Oxygen catalogs list is not enough for a
successful transformation.

Oxygen uses the DITA Open tooolkit 1.4.2.1 located in
"OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT" to transform DITA Maps to
various output formats.
The DITA OT ANT transformations use as catalog the file
"catalog-dita.xml" so you should probably add at the end of that file a
next catalog entry like:

<nextCatalog catalog="../../../relative/path/to/your/catalog.xml"/>

I think it would be better if you ask the DITA OT makers on the users list:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dita-users/
if referencing content through catalog is supported by them and how it
can be accomplished.

Regards,
Radu
