Hi, Trying to resolve this with ANT might possibly be too late, although I know nothing about ANT's xmlcatalog.
The point is that Saxon loads a Java classpath defined CatalogManager.properties file, so it's possible that it has read this before ANT gets started. So, you might be better off finding the CatalogManager.properties file that Saxon uses, and editing that directly. Please check the Saxon documentation. And, yes, I'm making a big assumption that Saxon is part of the work flow - just a hunch. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who understands ANT xmlcatalog, how it interacts with other Java components such as Saxon, and the Java classpath.
