+1 on smarter entity resolver.  That would fix it for everyone, whether
they remember to fix the config files or not.

Also, will the public ID change too since it has "iBATIS.com" in it?

Argh - Changing domains is a real hassle!

I only want to maintain one website for ibatis, both to avoid confusion
and 
simplify deployment of the new site. One problem is that nobody will
ever 
have access to the current ibatis.com <http://ibatis.com> hosting
facilities 
except me. 

Unfortunately I found out (after I made the change) that
apache.org<http://apache.org>doesn't like to point multiple URLs to
the same site. So they set up a
redirection script instead.

So now, the plan is to slowly move everyone to use
ibatis.apache.org<http://ibatis.apache.org>,
and ibatis.com/.net/.org <http://ibatis.com/.net/.org> will simply
become a 
redirection. Unfortunately the redirections will not help for DTD 
resolution.

That said, Jeff is right, we should use the public ID, and originally
it 
did. Unfortunately public IDs are easy to screw up (they're a nasty
format), 
so I chose to use the system ID, because URLs are more foolproof.
However, 
for future considerations, I suppose the public ID will be the way to
go, or 
perhaps a smarter entity resolver all around (i.e. try the public ID
first, 
then the system id for all both ibatis.com <http://ibatis.com> and 
ibatis.apache.org <http://ibatis.apache.org>). 

Cheers,
Clinton
