Master Files vs. catalog files and validation scenarios
Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2017 1:00 am
My project uses a set of a few dozen XML Schema files organized in a folder hierarchy. They are interrelated with <include> and <import> elements. Each folder in the hierarchy contains a catalog.xml file that lists the schema files in that folder, and another catalog.xml in the top folder references all the lower-level catalog.xml files. An oXygen validation scenario references that top-level catalog.xml, so instance documents validate correctly through the whole set of schemas.
We are considering using oXygen's Master File feature. How does it compare with what we already have with the catalog.xml files? Are there advantages or disadvantages either way?
