Hi,
thanks for the clarification. I read your message
as saying that oXygen complies with the specification.
However, as I see it this leaves an important question
open: in the absence of an explicitly defined base URL,
what is taken to be the base? The location of the XML
catalogue or the current working directory? oXygen seems
to use the latter whereas other tools seem to use the former.
(e.g., Ant, see http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/xmlcatalog.html
although this page does not say anything about the xml:base
attribute???) If the specification does not define what base URI
is used in the absence of an xml:base attribute then it is
incomplete. I should either define a sensible default (such as
the XML catalogue location) or declare this illegal (i.e. you
must not have a relative URI if you don't specify a base URI).
IMHO the former would be much more useful. I hope I haven't missed
anything. If I am right about this is it not time to change the spec?
Cheers,
Alex

Hi,
can anybody say what the resolution algorithm
is for resolving relative paths given in XML
catalogues? Or point me to a place that explains
this? All the examples I have found use absolute
paths but I want to be able to check the XML
catalogue into a repository which also contains
the DTD files, so people can check out the whole
thing and only need to register the XML catalogue
in their local preferences.
Cheers,
Alex
