Hi Christian,
I'm having trouble getting an XML Catalog to work in BaseX 9.7.2 running on Java 8. The XML Catalog is working properly in BaseX and Saxon using Java 17. However, if I keep everything the same and switch to Java 8 the XML Catalog doesn't work. The error messages when running on Java 8 indicate that the XML Catalog is not being used at all. The obvious solution of updating the environment to a more recent version of Java is not so easy in this case.
I have the XML Catalog location configured as an absolute file system URI in the system properties org.basex.catfile, xml.catalog.files, and javax.xml.catalog.files. Option db:intparse is set to false and option db:dtd is set to true. I have set the class path to include both the Apache XML Resolver (xml-resolver:xml-resolver:1.2) and the xmlresolver.org XML Resolver (org.xmlresolver:xmlresolver:4.4.0).
It is my understanding that BaseX will use Norm Tovey-Walsh's XML Resolver from xmlresolver.org if it is found on the class path, or fall back to Java's built in XML resolver. I see the logic for this check on which catalog resolver to use in org.basex.util.Resolver.
Do you have any suggestions on what to try, or is this pointing to a possible bug somewhere?
Thank you, Vincent
