Yes, that is very helpful. It indicates that the file is being found, but
the problem is in parsing it. The problem comes from that "feature" of
Xalan that converts certain characters to entity references. In the DocBook
XSL gentext files, there are no named character entities, so Xalan is taking
utf-8 characters and converting them to named character entities like
“ when it generates the target.db file. That mail thread mentions how
to turn off that Xalan feature, so that the utf-8 characters are not
converted, which would allow the file to be parsed without declaring the
character entities.
Or you could declare the character entities in the olinkdb.xml file. This
can be done as described here for DocBook 5 documents:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Db5Entities.html#CharEntities
You would need to download the DocBook 4 DTD which has definitions of those
entities. The doc describes how they are included in olinkdb.xml. Then
when the target.db files are read, those character entities are declared and
the file should parse. If it is all working, you should be able to validate
olinkdb.xml, and then it will open for olinks.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Error when trying to cross reference external
documents
Hi Bob,
I did the change and there is no difference. Is failing in the same place
and with the same error.
Suspecting that it might be a problem with one of xalan/ant and maybe
eclipse I updated all to the latest version. Still no luck and is still
failing.
However I managed to trace some more specific error messages. Please see
the attached screenshot.
I also found a thread which might be related but I am not sure -
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/200808/msg00065.html
Is this information more helpful?
Thanks again,
Doru
Re:
"Hi,
I think the problem is with the way the system entities are expressed for
the target data files:
<!ENTITY userguidetargets SYSTEM "D:/Projects/6.1.2-18Feb/appli
cations/documentation/target/package/docs/userguide/target.db">
Those need to use file: syntax. For Windows, that would look like this:
<!ENTITY userguidetargets SYSTEM
"file:///D:/Projects/6.1.2-18Feb/applications/documentation/target/package/docs/userguide/target.db">"
