Hello John, Looking at the catalog.xml file I see that all the elements are in no namespace. In an OASIS XML Catalog they must be in the "urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog" namespace. That means you have to place all the elements of your catalog in that namespace, for example by adding the xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog" attribute to the root element. Also you have to bind the xsi prefix to the XML Schema namespace, otherwise it is not a well-formed XML document. Please look at the file [oXygen-install-folder]/frameworks/docbook/dtd/catalog.xml for an example catalog.

Hi John,

Oxygen uses system entries to resolve schema locations as we use the parser at SAX level and there is no way to distinguish between external entities and schema locations. There was a discussion about this on this list some time ago if you want to know more details. The thread starts here: http://www.oxygenxml.com/pipermail/oxygen-user/2005-September/000631.html and continues with http://www.oxygenxml.com/pipermail/oxygen-user/2005-October/000633.html

The solution is to add also system entries to your catalog.

Hi All,

I have been trying to use an XSD catalog file for months without any luck. As a matter of fact I have *never* been able to get XSD catalog files working on Oxygen. Currently I am using Oxygen 7.0 on a Windows 2000 platform.

The best I can do is the following error:

http://asdd.ga.gov.au/asdd/work/catalogerror.txt

The catalog preferences look like this:

http://asdd.ga.gov.au/asdd/work/catalogpreferences.gif

The catalog file looks like this:

http://asdd.ga.gov.au/asdd/work/catalog.xml

I am using the following catalog.xsd:

http://asdd.ga.gov.au/asdd/work/catalog.xsd

I don't understand the error. The path to the catalog.xml file is correct and it is readable. Why is this error occurring? I can only find catalog files for DTDs not XSDs.

Thanks.

John
