Earl, i don't know if this is related, but at Apache Forrest we have troubles in a certain situation. The newest Resolver works fine on Windows when we use it with Xerces via Apache Cocoon, but fails when we use it via Apache Ant. Last time i looked, none of our Windows developers have yet found time to take it up with the Ant project. Here is my reply to Norman Walsh on this commons-dev list: http://markmail.org/message/4vozuvf2gwwuk33k Re: File URLs will be the death of me Date: 03 Jul 2006 which also links to an issue report. When i investigated that issue i found that Ant had some strange code for Windows path handling in the "xmlcatalog" task. It seemed to be a workaround for problems with Resolver. After Norm fixed it here at Apache XML Commons, perhaps the workaround in Ant now fails. Dunno. -David
