The documentation about embedding FOP [1] gives indication on how to
override the default URI resolver to use one based on catalogs, for
instance. This requires a little bit of Java skills since you have to
call FOP programmatically. I’m not sure this is possible to override the
URI resolver by just using the command line.
I’ve never experimented with that myself, so you will get better help on
the fop-users mailing list [2]. Anyway this is becoming very
FOP-specific now :)
