Re: [basex-talk] XML catalog with fetch:xml
Thanks for your suggestions, Andy.
If you (or anyone else) have already worked with custom resolvers for 3rd
party libraries in Java, feel free to pass me on examples. They might help
us to provide support for xmldb: or basex: URI schemes.

Re: [basex-talk] XML catalog with fetch:xml
Ok, Thanks for the info it is what I guessed, but I note the "currently" :)
It would be good, long term, to look to matching the Saxon capabilties here
[1], part of which (xslt) are covered by this issue [2].
And related: I wonder sometimes about a "xmldb:" uri scheme and a custom
resolver that could be passed to 3rd party validation and transform
libraries to allow them to access BaseX db resources. I seem to remember a
number of issues on the list that could be related to the saving temp
copies of db resources to the file system as seems to occur currently.
No doubt this would be a big task, if it is even possible :)

Re: [basex-talk] XML catalog with fetch:xml
Hi Andy,
Currently, XML catalog files will only be evaluated by the XML parser,
which will be called after the addressed resource has been located and
retrieved. In other words: The specified catalog file will be
evaluated indeed, but only for URIs that occur within the specified
XML document:
fetch:xml('file.xml', map {
'catfile': '/path/to/catalog.xml',
'dtd': true()
})
file.xml:
catalog.xml:
Hope this helps (a little),
Christian

[basex-talk] XML catalog with fetch:xml
Hi,
Using a recent 9.1 Beta on windows.
I create an XML catalog at c:\tmp\mycatalog.xml
http://nowhere.com/doc;
uri="file:///c:/tmp/doc.xml" />
Then in the GUI
fetch:xml("http://nowhere.com/doc;,
map{"catfile": "C:\tmp\mycatalog.xml"}
)
It goes to nowhere, I was hoping to get back c:/tmp/doc.xml
Should this work?
/Andy
