One requirement is that everything that (meta-)handles metadata should be in one place. I think it is a pita, when each module has e.g. code to do the (local) entity resolving on its own. This should be condensed into a central module with a central file that tells which file maps to which public id. Also for the XML files, I'd like to see something like Tree t = MetadataProvider.get("data for cmp.xml"); String defaultDB = t.getXPath("/foo/bar/default/db"); which means navigating with XPath. There is a project JXPath (@jakarta), that could help here. Heiko -- Heiko W.
