[oXygen-user] Plugin access to frameworks and catalogs

[Radu Coravu]

Ni Nigel,

You're right about the first issue, resolvePathThroughCatalogs does not 
resolve public IDs, so better try the solution suggested below:

Indeed, the XMLUtilAccess.newNonValidatingXMLReader() returns an XML 
Reader which already has an entity resolver set up through the Oxygen 
catalogs. So as alternatives either you can use our XML Reader to parse 
resources or create an XML reader through our code and then do a 
XMLReader.getEntityResolver() on it to access the Entity Resolver set to 
it on our side.

I will add as a feature request the possibility to get an EntityResolver 
or an URIResolver through our API.

Regards,
Radu
