hi Sorin and Eliot thank for your respones!
As Sorin said, you can only use a DOCTYPE declaration to point to a DTD.
However, you can point to an XSD schema through a catalog but you can't use an SGML-style PUBLIC ID to do it, you must use an absolute URI (e.g., "http://www.example.com/doctypes/schemas/myschema/myschema.xsd"). This is the because the schemaLocation attributes are defined as mapping URIs to URIs and a PUBLIC ID is not a URI syntactically.
If you are using the Xerxes parser (which is what Oxygen uses by default), in your catalog, use system entries to map the absolute URI to a local version of it. This is because Xerces implements the schemaLocation= and noNamespaceSchemaLocation= attributes as
So, I changed my @xsi:schemaLocation to an URI <?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?> <be xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.daidalos/nl/puma/be-jur-off.xs d" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> ... </be> though they were system identifiers
and so uses system lookups against your catalog.
and I changed my catalog to <system systemId="http://wwww.daidalos.nl/puma/be-jur-off.xsd" uri="be-jur-off/be-jur-off.xsd"/> <system systemId="http://wwww.daidalos.nl/puma/be-jur-com.xsd" uri="be-jur-com/be-jur-com.xsd"/> for Xerces and <uri name="http://wwww.kluwer.nl/puma/be-jur-off.xsd" uri="be-jur-off/be-jur-off.xsd"/> <uri name="http://wwww.kluwer.nl/puma/be-jur-com.xsd" uri="be-jur-com/be-jur-com.xsd"/> for other parsers and in oXygen / Xerxes it works like a charm; catalog is resolved and validation is OK. I will have to do some testing for others parsers we use in the project. Thanks again! groet Theun Drs. T.
