Thank you for this very detailed bug report. In principle, ditac itself supports UNC paths. However many Java components used to implement ditac do not support such UNC paths.
The error seems to be reported by OutputURIResolver. We, XMLmind, don't know anything about OutputURIResolver. This problem is either caused by a limitation of Saxon or by a limitation of the XML Catalog Resolver, two components that we didn't develop. Therefore there is not much we can do to solve this problem. Sorry for that. ∋mim∈ wrote: > I fell into the following problem when using ditac to create chm file. > > *INPUT*: > X:\xmldocTest\System\tools\ditac-1_2_0\bin>ditac.bat -hhc "C:\Program > Files\HTML Help Workshop\hhc.exe" > \\goaer12a\Group\Asmes_doc\xmldocTest\Projects\TEST\POMB2MML\output\chm\POMB2MML.chm > \\goaer12a\Group\Asmes_doc\xmldocTest\Projects\TEST\POMB2MML\output\dita\POMB2MML.ditamap > > *OUTPUT*: > ditac: ERROR: fatal error reported by the XSLT engine: Exception thrown > by OutputURIResolver; SystemID: file:/X:/xmldocTest/System/tools/ditac > -1_2_0/xsl/htmlhelp/htmlhelp.xsl; Line#: 46; Column#: -1 > ditac: ERROR: cannot transform > "\\goaer12a\Group\Asmes_doc\xmldocTest\Projects\TEST\POMB2MML\output\chm\POMB2MML__7422134142688787902_chm\POMB > 2MML.ditac" to > "\\goaer12a\Group\Asmes_doc\xmldocTest\Projects\TEST\POMB2MML\output\chm\POMB2MML__7422134142688787902_chm\POMB2MML.html" > using > file:/X:/xmldocTest/System/tools/ditac-1_2_0/xsl/htmlhelp/htmlhelp.xsl: > Exception thrown by OutputURIResolver > > I think this error is due to the chm file provided as UNC path (see > red).
