Entity catalogs and Xindice [was: RE: xindice and xincon]

[Steven Noels <st...@outerthought.org>]

Jan,

It works now, thanks.

Question aside... the import still fails when adding a document
referring to an external DTD using assistance of an entity resolver...,
i.e.:

<!DOCTYPE document PUBLIC "some public id" "system-id.dtd">

whereas the mapping between the PUBLIC identifier and the SYSTEM
location of the DTD is stored in a "catalog" file instead of in the XML
document.

See http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/xml-commons/README.html,
http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/userdocs/concepts/catalog.html and
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/entity/ for everything there is to
know about entity catalogs. The entity resolver from Norman Walsh (Sun)
has become part of xml-commons, and Cocoon includes it, too (using it
for its own documentation).

Wouldn't it be useful if support for catalogs got added to Xindice? If
we do not fully support catalogs, perhaps we could use
http://opensource.socialchange.net.au/doctypechanger/ (should also
become part of xml-commons) to get rid of the DOCTYPE declaration in a
decent way.

Regards,

</Steven>
