Re: [wtp-dev] XML Catalog - namespaces or schemaLocations ... or both

Paul, about the double redirection: I don't think you can use the catalog like that because the the URI resolver does a single pass through the catalog. If I understand correctly, to do what your proposing it would have to recurse: first locate the namespace -> remote location, then call itself
