Betreff: Use of XML Catalog with Ant (xslt task) - request for example

 

 

I’m trying to get DocBook WebHelp building working, which uses Ant to
control the various processes involved, in particular Xslt.

I would like to use Catalogs for resolving my XSL stylesheet locations, and
have thus far been unable to make this work.

 

I’ve tried to follow Ant’s documentation regarding the <xmlcatalog> element
but I can’t get it to work.  (I am finding the Ant documentation in this
area extremely hard to follow)

By “can’t get it to work” I mean it doesn’t find the files I’m trying to
reference via the catalog.  It doesn’t show any messages indicating whether
or not it is using the resolver, so I presume it isn’t finding it.

 

Does anyone have any complete example of this working.

Ie one that includes a reference to the resolver jar, and the classpath, and
the catalog file and/or catalogManager.properties.

 

 

Appreciatively,

Richard.
