Adding DTD's to the catalog
I need to add some documents that use a custom DTD to my project. As per
the instructions at
http://forrest.apache.org/docs/validation.html#catalog I have placed my
DTD's in src/documentation/resources/schema and have a new project.xcat
file (in the same directory).
If I run "forrest validate" all my docs are validated, however if I run
"forrest site" the files with the new DTD's fail because Forrest is
trying to download the schema from the web (and they are not there, only
local).
Any ideas?

Hi David,
The documentation clearly stated that the CatalogManager.properties's
"catalogs" property expected absolute paths, so I assumed it would not
work, but tried it anyway - it just didn't pick my catalog up. I haven't
tried using the additional property noted by Ross yet (but I assume it
/will/ work).
I did try increasing the verbosity - both in the
CatalogManager.properties and in the cocoon.xconf files, but it just
didn't show up in the logs.
I'm not going to be in my office until Thursday, but I'll try it then
and post whether it works or not. I would have suggested fixing the docs
- but Ross beat me to it ;-)

I'm guessing that Arik means "it didn't work until I read your message
and put the extra property in". The extra property was discussed in the
previous message of this thread. Relative paths only work (meaning they
can only be found by the catalog resolver) if you set the
"relative-catalogs" value to yes in the catalog.xcat file.
I read the above message to mean that Arik has this working now that he
has set the discussed "relative-catalogs" value.

Arik, please explain what you mean by "it didn't work".
Have you tried increasing the verbosity on the catalog entity resolver
to see why your DTDs are not being resolved?

No need to guess, it is in a freshly seeded site, whenever in doubt it
can be a good idea to see a site and see what has changed. (of course, I
didn't do this myself when hit by the same problem, it's easy in
retrospect ;-)

Wow, 10x
I tried using relative paths, but it didn't work - I would never have
guessed another property is involed ;-)
Cheers.

No, I was tripped up by this in the thread you quoted. However, it was
pointed out to me the documents were incorrect. I have updated the docs,
they now say:
"specify either the path (full or relative) to your
<code>catalog.xcat</code> in the <code>CatalogManager.properties</cod=
e> file. If you provide a relative path you must set the property
<code>relative-catalogs</code> to "yes"."

Hi,
As far as the documentation states, the CatalogManager.properties file
only accepts absolute paths for the project (local) catalog. Is this true?

So it does, thanks.

That document continues to say that you also need to declare your project.xcat
in a CatalogManager.properties file so that Cocoon can use the resolver.

A little more info, I think this shows that the project.xcat file is not
working in a "forrest run|site" but is working for "forrest validate".
If I change my doctype from ...
<!DOCTYPE mailingListIndex PUBLIC "-//SAAFE//DTD MailngListIndex
V1.0//EN" "http://schema.saafe.org/dtd/mailingListIndex-v10.dtd">
... to ...
<!DOCTYPE mailingListIndex PUBLIC "-//SAAFE//DTD MailngListIndex
V1.0//EN" "../../../resources/schema/dtd/mailingListIndex-v10.dtd">
... then everything works fine.
Can someone who knows more about catalog resolution confirm this is a
bug, or am I missing something?
