This is related to a similar post last year, the same issue has come
up again and I don't think it was resolved the last time. So here it
goes:
There's a catalog that has a single delegateSystem entry:
<catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog">
<delegateSystem
systemIdStartString="http://doesnt.exist";
catalog="delegate-catalog.xml"/>
</catalog>
The other catalog uses a rewriteURI entry:
<catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog">
<rewriteURI
uriStartString="http://doesnt.exist";
rewritePrefix="." />
</catalog>
When calling "xmlcatalog catalog.xml http://doesnt.exist/a.dtd"; it
does not resolve, although I think it should.
The resolution semantics in http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/entity/spec-2001-08-06.html#s.semantics
imply that after the delegateSystem has been seen, resolution should
start again with the delegate catalogs instead of the original ones.
In particular the rewriteURI rule should apply.
BTW: This thing is related to the SuSE setup of xml catalogs starting
from /etc/xml/suse-catalog.xml containing package related catalogs. My
problem is that http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/website/2.5.0/xsl/autolayout.xsl
cannot be resolved.
