Catalog questions

[dnedrow]

This isn't specifically oXygen related, so I can take it to one of the xml lists if necessary.

Thought I'd try here first though.

Sun uses a new system for handling services. This system involves DTD-based XML files.

I'd like to use oXygen to edit and validate these files.

For whatever reason, Sun uses an absolute path for the document type...

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM '/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1'>

Since I typically run oXygen on a non-Solaris platform, I'd like to keep the DTDs locally.

So, I've copied the Solaris DTDs to /opt/xml/sun-SMF/dtd.

In the oXygen frameworks/catalog.xml, I've added a <nextCatalog/> entry pointing to
/opt/xml/catalog.xml which in turn contains a number of <nextCatalog/> entries, including:

Code: Select all

 <nextCatalog catalog="sun-SMF/catalog.xml" />

I've tried a number of variations of rewrites in the sun-SMF/catalog.xml, but have yet to clear the hurdle of oXygen complaining about not finding /usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1.

Below is one of the iterations I've tried. If someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'd really appreciate it.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!DOCTYPE catalog

   PUBLIC "-//OASIS/DTD Entity Resolution XML Catalog V1.0//EN"

   "http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/entity/release/1.0/catalog.dtd">

<catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog">

        <!--         <group xml:base="file:///Volumes/iDisk/xml/sun-SMF/dtd/">  -->



                <!-- ...................................................................... -->

                <!-- XML Catalog data for Service Management Facility ...................... -->

                <!-- File catalog.xml ..................................................... -->



                <rewriteURI

                        uriStartString="/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1"

                        rewritePrefix="service_bundle.dtd.1"/>

        <!--         </group>  -->

</catalog>

As an aside, is there an easy way in oXygen to see the catalog/resolution traversal?
