Thanks Michael, I'll follow up on the FOP list However it was this message on the FOP list which originally lead me to post here instead, http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.text.xml.fop.user/28862
By "custom EntityResolver" I assume Pietschmann means org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.CatalogResolver, from Apache commons I mentioned what I tried so far to get FOP/Xerces to use the catalog resolver, any other advice how to get Xerces to use the catalog resolver?
