Io, but i am running the example locally with no http involve, and using the standalone BaseX jar. But i did have to change it to map file: <rewriteSystem systemIdStartString="file:/home/lee/public_html/texts/Dictionaries/Pigo tt-PoliticalDictionary/xml/catalogtest/catalogtestxslt1/nonsense.dtd" rewritePrefix="student.dtd" /> If you add verbosity = 999 to CatalogManager.properties you will see a log of what it is trying to resolve which may help (it also logs all the mapping rules it finds). > In a nutshell: You convinced me well enough that we should simplify > things and handle catalogs globally. :-) Yes, they are a bit of a nightmare. Actually i’ve thought about having the ability to write a URI Resolver in XQuery, db:resolve-identifier($system, $public, $purpose, $types) as xs:anyURI? but maybe it is too scary! > Understanding catalogs is quite a > challenge in itself, and we shouldn’t necessarily make it even more > challenging.
