LIBXML catalog path

[honyk]

Hello,

if there is set LIBXML as engine for validation, the following error is displayed: E [LIBXML] warning: failed to load external entity "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.4/docbookx.dtd".

Maybe some firewall issue, but it seems there is attempt to validate document against public DTD, while I'd prefer system one. How can I set link to catalog file in case of LIBXML engine?

Thanks in advance.

The XML catalogs that are set in Oxygen should be used by LIBXML including the XML catalogs of the document types from Preferences -> Document Type Association. I tested your document and I get no validation error. Did you modify the XML catalogs in the DocBook document type?

I've restored DocBook DTD to original one (I've added there xi:include element so inclusion mechanism probably didn't work properly) and now it is Ok.

I was wrong in previous post. It still doesn't work, or, at least, it is not reliable.

I've restored catalog settings for sure. Catalogs are resolved properly (info from catalog tab):

Code: Select all

Description: Resolved system: http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.4/docbookx.dtd	file:/C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Oxygen%20XML%20Author%2010/frameworks/docbook/4.4/dtd/docbookx.dtd

Description: Public: -//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.4//EN System: http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.4/docbookx.dtd = file:/C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Oxygen%20XML%20Author%2010/frameworks/docbook/4.4/dtd/docbookx.dtd

After that, I got error in original post sometimes. There is additional info in Info tab:

Code: Select all

Description: Executing: C:\Program Files (x86)\Oxygen XML Author 10/xmllint   --noout --catalogs --xinclude --postvalid C:\master.xml

Description: error : Result too large

Description: Document C:\master.xml does not validate

I don't know why, but this kind of error disappear after restart of Oxygen.

Sometimes wrong results are interpreted by Oxygen as Ok results...
If for example not existent ID is used for linked attribute, in Info tab there is correct info:

Code: Select all

Description: second.xml:5: element link: validity error : IDREF attribute linkend references an unknown ID "firstx"

...

Description: Process LIBXML exit code = 3

But such result is processed by Oxygen as 'Document is valid'.
