Bob, et al,
I am using SAXON 6.5.5 and a fairly standard catalog file - most of it came
out of your book. What I am trying to do is to set up the tools and static
files so that each documentation project can be run out of its own directory
and
reference the catalog and corporate ENTITY files that will exist in a
separate directory.
The dir structure will look similar to this
<docroot>
|- doctools
|- documentation
|- corp (static ENTITY files (*.mod))
|- project1
|- project2
This structure needs to work on Windows and Linux, so all of the tools are
in doctools (saxon,fop,etc). However, the entity files are not being located
correctly under Linux, using relative dirs. I have even tried static directory
names (as below) but to no avail.
The error that I get is that SAXON is looking for the entity file in the
"project" directory where the process is run from, but it is located in the
"corp" dir.
I'm sure there is a better way of locating corporate static files, so I am
open to suggestions. But I would still like to solve this catalog/entity issue.
Regards,
Dean Nelson

Hi,
A catalog entry can resolve an entity reference. Can you describe your
catalog entries?
Have you tried using the catalog debugging feature of the parser? What
parser are you using?
Does the file still exist in the current directory? If you are using
xsltproc, then if it finds it in the current directory, it will use that and
not
bother with executing a catalog lookup. I complained about this "feature" to
the developers of xsltproc, asking for at least an option to force catalog
retrieval, but I don't think it happened.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Shared entity include file issues
All,
I have an ENTITY in the DOCTYPE for my documents that references an entity
file that I include. However, I want to move that to central directory so that
it can be available for other docs as well.
I would like to resolve it's location with a catalog file, but I am having
no luck adding it to my catalog file. The file is still looked for in the
current directory.
For example here is my source:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.4//EN"
"_http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.4/docbookx.dtd_
(http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.4/docbookx.dtd) "[
<!ENTITY % xinclude SYSTEM "met-xinclude.mod">
<!ENTITY % met-defs SYSTEM "met-defs.mod">
%xinclude;
%met-defs;
]>
<book>
<title>&DOC_TITLE;</title>
...
I would like to map the two mod files to a specific directory with a catalog
file. I have looked at Bob's section on "Using an XML catalog to relocate
dbgenent.mod" in
_http://sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ModularEntities.html_
(http://sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ModularEntities.html)
But that kind of hides the info a bit plus it only works with one extra
include file, not two. It seems like a catalog should resolve an "ENTITY"
filename.
Can anyone help me out with this?
Thanks,
Dean Nelson
