Hi John, Oxygen has an option that allows a not so common configuration to work, that is to specify a DTD and use entities but validate against XML Schema. I think you enabled this option and in this case the validation will be done always with a schema, that is the DTD validation is disabled. Please check the Options->Preferences -- XML -- XML Parser options -- Use only XML Schema for validation and disable it if you want to validate against DTDs.

Hi,

I'm still having problems with setting up catalog files. I have created a catalog file to link to relative paths to the DTDs. When I try to validate the catalog file I get this error:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#cvc-elt E cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'catalog'. anzliccatalog.xml file:/E:/downloads/anzliccatalog.xml 6:1

I have changed the entry in the options => preferences => XML => XML Catalog to point to the anzliccatalog.xml as follows:

file:/E:/downloads/anzliccatalog.xml

The catalog file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE catalog PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD Entity Resolution XML Catalog V1.0//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/entity/release/1.0/catalog.dtd">

</catalog>

I have even downloaded the catalog.dtd file and it doesn't validate.

Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.
