It's basically a simple helper class leveraging "Apache XML Commons Resolver" (which implements catalog-based entity and URI resolution; see http://xerces.apache.org/xml-commons/). I'm afraid there is no way to use a custom EntityResolver in XXE. --------------------------------------- How to use a DITA specialization in XXE --------------------------------------- <XXE_install_dir>/doc/configure/samples/topic_plus_tag/ contains a configuration for a DITA topic specialization. This specialization adds a <tag> element to the topic DTD. A <tag> element has a required kind attribute. The values allowed for the kind attribute are: "attribute", "attvalue", "element", "emptytag", "endtag", "genentity", "localname", "namespace", "numcharref", "paramentity", "pi", "prefix", "comment", "starttag". This configuration has been created by customizing the stock DITA topic configuration as explained in "Chapter 5, Customizing an existing configuration", http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/customizing.html -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List xmleditor-support@xmlmind.com http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
