saxon: docbookV4.5/docbookx.dtd (No such file or directory)

[Mathieu Malaterre <mathieu.malaterre@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

  I am trying to understand what so different in how catalog are
handled in between xsltproc and saxon (I need to be able to use one or
the other). Basically is the following legal:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"
"docbookV4.5/docbookx.dtd" []>
<article>
...

I cannot make it work using saxon 6.5.5 on a debian machine. It fails with:

java  -cp /etc/xml/resolver:/usr/share/java/xml-commons-resolver-1.1.jar:/usr/share/java/docbook-xsl-saxon.jar:/usr/share/java/saxon.jar
com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet -x
org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.ResolvingXMLReader  -y
org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.ResolvingXMLReader -r
org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.CatalogResolver  -u -o toto in2.xml
/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl/fo/docbook.xsl
Error
  Failure reading file:////tmp/in2.xml: /tmp/docbookV4.5/docbookx.dtd
(No such file or directory)
Transformation failed: Run-time errors were reported

However the following is working:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd";>
<article>
...


Looking at the catalog I have:

$ grep "//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML" /etc/xml/catalog
<delegatePublic publicIdStartString="-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML"
catalog="file:///etc/xml/docbook-xml.xml"/>

$ grep http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml /etc/xml/catalog
<delegateSystem
systemIdStartString="http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/";
catalog="file:///etc/xml/docbook-xml.xml"/>

Does this means Saxon does not take into account 'delegatePublic' ?

Thanks,
