The above warning indicates that the problem is not related to XML catalogs. Without the -s option, xmltool expects your instances to have an xsi:schemaLocation or an xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attribute. Example: --- <foo xmlns="http://www.cggveritas.com/geovation/module/2.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.cggveritas.com/geovation/module/2.0 http://www.cggveritas.com/geovation/module/2.0/module.xsd";> ... </foo> --- In the above case, your XML catalog could contain: --- <uri name="http://www.cggveritas.com/geovation/module/2.0/module.xsd"; uri="xsd/module/2.0/module.xsd"/> --- that is, an entry maps a file URI to another file URI. Note that your <uri> entry is probably incorrect because it seems to map a namespace URI "http://www.cggveritas.com/geovation/module/2.0"; to a file URI "xsd/module/2.0/module.xsd". -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
