[oXygen-user] Catalog help

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

The XML parser resolves only full URIs using the catalog so if you 
specify the system ID with a relative path first it will be expanded to 
its full path and then searched in the catalog. If the XML document is 
located in the directory C:\work then you must specify in the catalog:

<system systemId="file:///C:/work/log4j.dtd" 
uri="file:///Users/john/Documents/oxygen/log4j.dtd"/>

You can make the document portable if you use a system ID like 
logging.apache.org/site/log4j.dtd in the document and

<system systemId="logging.apache.org/site/log4j.dtd" 
uri="file:///Users/john/Documents/oxygen/log4j.dtd"/>

in the catalog where the uri attribute is modified by each user to 
correspond to the path on the local machine.

Best regards,
Sorin
