I don't think this covers my use cases, in particular :
1. External catalog file (Catalog.xml). 2. Use of the catalog to find the xsl file for the transform (ie the "style" attribute or sub-element of <xslt>). Does anyone have an example using these ? 1. I've developed the catalog while doing other processing using Saxon, which is accessed using a Java task. In that case Saxon takes parameters indicating where to find the catalog file (more accurately the folder containing catalogManager.properties, which points to the Catalog.xml). The documentation for Ant's Xslt task indicates that this is possible but there are no examples there and nothing I've tried so far has managed to make it work. The example submitted here contains the catalog contents in a <xmlcatalog> element, not a reference to a catalog file. 2. The example submitted here doesn't appear to use a catalog to get the style file - there is no mention of "xml/doc.xsl" in the <xmlcatalog> shown. 3. The Ant documentation implies resolver.jar needs to be in the system classpath, but I can't see where this should be set. As far as I can tell I haven't got one - the <xslt> does have a <classpath> child but that doesn't seem to do it. I hope someone can clarify all this. Regards, Richard.

August 2013 17:03 An: user@ant.apache.org 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.
