XXE didn't show my catalog in it's About dialog. But - that doesn't mean it didn't use it: If I modify another entry in the catalog, it get's noticed.
Here's my catalog: ################################################ <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <!DOCTYPE catalog PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD Entity Resolution XML Catalog V1.0//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/entity/release/1.0/catalog.dtd";> <catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog" prefer="public"> <public publicId="-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.3//EN" uri="file:///d:/docbook/dist/docbook/docbookx.dtd"/> <system systemId="file:///C:/Programme/docbook/xml/4.3/xinclude.mod" uri="file:///D:/docbook/dist/dpag/xml/xinclude.mod"/> <rewriteURI rewritePrefix="file:///D:/docbook/dist/work/" uriStartString="local://"/> </catalog> ################################################ If I change the system entry into something which can't be resolved, XXE complains about it! BTW: xmllint and xsltproc are using the same catalog without any warning.

I don't think the problem comes from uriStartString="local://". I think the problem comes from the fact that XXE does not see or cannot use your catalog.xml. Please use "Help|About XMLmind XML Editor" to check that your XML catalog is listed there. If your XML catalog is listed in this dialog box: [1] Try with rewritePrefix="file:///D:/docbook/dist/work" (no ending '/'). [2] Try with rewritePrefix="...relative path..." (just for testing). [3] Start XXE with a console to see if the XML catalog resolver crashes. To do this, edit <XXE_install_dir>/xxe.jstart using notepad and replace "javaw" by "java". Make sure to save modified file as UTF-8.
