   Hi,
I want to perform a following task: having over a few

such nodes that match a certain pattern, while

possible.

"Typically, my XML file looks like that:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!DOCTYPE NODE SYSTEM
'classpath:///wf/core/base/prm/resources/prm.dtd'>

^^^^ errr, don't recognize that type of doctype.

I am using the following Java 1.5 code (and Xalan
processor, I guess) to run it:

The parser is what's important here.

Then I get the following exception:
java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol:
classpath

^^^^^  seems pretty straightforward to me.  Doesn't recognize the
classpath protocol.  I don't either, so that's not a huge surprise.
Perhaps someone on a list more focused on XML parsing and java could
help you here.

Without DOCTYPE declaration in the source XML, XSL
works (almost) fine. Declaring file instead of
classpath gets understood also."

Well, yes.  What do you expect?  This isn't a XSL problem.  It's an
XML problem.  I'm not up to snuff on some of the latest catalog stuff,
but off the top of my head I've never seen classpath:/// used in a
system doctype.  You might want to use a parser that can handle it if
it's correct.
