[basex-talk] custom resolver / XML catalogs

Dear Team,

We need to deal with XML that contains a DOCTYPE declaration and named entities. Unfortunately the DTD sometimes isn't available at the system location (e.g., "E:\mydoc.dtd") given in each document's declaration. Is it possible to specify a custom resolver such as org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.CatalogResolver so that the DTD can be found by virtue of a catalog, and consequently the entities can be resolved?

If catalogs are not available, we'll have to resolve the entities (and remove the DOCTYPE declaration) in a preprocessing step using xmllint or saxon. This is acceptable, we just need to know how to proceed.

Many thanks,

Gerrit
