Hi Jack, The application using the parser (FOP or whatever) needs to have to set an EntityResolver on the parser. Xerces has no command line interface like FOP if that's what you were thinking. There's no system property it recognizes for this either. A Catalog (i.e. EntityResolver) needs to have been set programmatically and if you don't have control over that I'm not sure what else to suggest.
Thanks.
