org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.CatalogResolver cannot be found

[Matej Cepl <ce...@surfbest.net>]

Hi,

I have here debian/testing with java-blackdown from debian
package j2re1.4 1.4.2.01-1 and trying to use its xalan (there is
one included inside this version of JRE, isn't it?) to create
FOP from Docbook XML file using Norman Walsh's XSL stylesheets.
Unfortunately, when I try running just plain org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process
(no CLASSPATH is set up, so I guess the xalan which is part of java 1.4 is
used, isn't it?) I get unresolved entity:

java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in db-birthing-class.xml \
-xsl /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/fo/docbook.xsl \
-out db-birthing-class.fop

file:///home/matej/archiv/2004/doma/miminko/db-birthing-class.xml;
Line #13; Column #-1; XSLT Error (javax.xml.transform.TransformerException): 
External entity not found:
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd".

Which is silly -- I would hope that some resolver is automagically incldued
in xalan, but oh well, I downloaded resolver-latest.jar from Apache Commons
and hoped to make it work, but it is not much better:

 -out db-birthing-class.fop
Class file not found for option -EntityResolver
blahoslav:miminko$

I accept that total java-newbie, but still doesn't seem to be right. Can
anybody explain, what's going on?

 Thanks,

  Matej
