Re: [docbook-apps] xml catalogs

[George Cristian Bina <george@oxygenxml.com>]

Hi Dave,

XML Catalog 1.1 (implemented by the Apache resolver) added support for 
resolving based on a suffix and that should solve the problem as the 
file will end in the same way. Note also that you need a system mapping 
(not a uri mapping) to resolve a DTD reference, something like below:

<systemSuffix systemIdSuffix="your.dtd" uri="path/to/local/copy.dtd"/>

Best Regards,
George
