XML catalogs for dummies
Posted: Fri Aug 05, 2005 5:55 pm
I am at the beginning stage of figuring out how XML catalogs work, and I just want confirmation that they will accomplish what I want to do:
1.I have created a directory tree of schemas and DTDs that are used by various XML documents I work with. This directory is on my local system and is also mirrored on a Web server so that people can validate documents via HTTP.
2. I should be able to create an XML catalog for use by oXygen that will associate the filesystem tree on my local machine with the HTTP URIs for the same schemas, so that if I cannot access the schemas over the network, oXygen will use my local files.
Am I correct that this is the basic idea? So I just need to figure out how to create a catalog file with the correct syntax and tell oXygen where it is?
(A basic HOWTO document on using XML catalogs with oXygen might be helpful.)
