[oXygen-user] using catalogs

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

No, the XML catalog files cannot be added to Preferences -> Editor -> 
Default Schema Association. Only schema files are added there. The 
document types were not available in Oxygen 8 so you have to add the XML 
catalog files in Preferences -> XML -> XML Catalog. You have to add an 
xsi:schemaLocation attribute to the root element of your Shibboleth XML 
file, use a URL or a file path as the attribute value, not a URN as in 
your catalog file ("urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog") and 
set that URL/file path as the systemId attribute value in the catalog 
file. You can see an example in the files 
[Oxygen8-install-folder]/samples/jsp/jspsample.jspx and 
[Oxygen8-install-folder]/frameworks/jsp/xsd/jspcatalog.xml.


Regards,
Sorin
