[jira] Commented: (FOR-889) Use by Ant of newer catalog entity resolver failing for Windows

["David Crossley (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-889?page=comments#action_12418907 ] 

David Crossley commented on FOR-889:
------------------------------------

So to summarise:

Forrest uses the entity resolver in two situations:
1) Cocoon uses it via Excalibur;
2) prior to Cocoon starting, Ant uses it for our "validate-xdocs" build target.

For the latter, we configure the xml catalogs at
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/forrest/trunk/main/targets/validate.xml
(search in page for fcatalog) 
...
<xmlcatalog id="fcatalog" >
 <catalogpath>
  <pathelement location="${forrest.core.webapp}/resources/schema/catalog.xcat"/>
...

On UNIX, both situations are okay with the new resolver (see unix-validate-r395116-resolver.txt).

On Windows, situation #1 is okay (see dynamic-cocoon.log) but situation #2 is broken (see ant-debug.log).

Reverting to an older version of xml-resolver trunk (r292853), situation #2 works again for Windows (see validate-xdocs-original-resolver.txt).

Looking at ant-debug.log it seems that resolver gets confused and builds a broken "Default BASE". We don't use xml:base in any of our xml catalogs.
