Re: XMLCatalogResolver and catalog.xml within jar file

[Yoann Moranville <yo...@gmail.com>]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the info, I checked a bit xml-commons resolver component, 
that helped. The resolver seems to use mostly absolute URLs anyway.
It seems the easiest solution is the one working... Passing to the 
setCatalogList a simple URL in external form worked just fine.
---
URL xmlCatalogUrl = .........getResource("/xmlCatalog.xml"); //this XML 
is the same I gave earlier - xsd schemas are next to the xmlCatalog.xml
String[] catalogs = {xmlCatalogUrl.toExternalForm()};
setCatalogList(catalogs);
---

Thanks,
Yoann
