How to use catalog.xml in document() function

Hi Forum members, I am encountering an issue in Saxon 9.1 XSLT 2.0 stylesheet when
trying to open secondary xhtml documents (using document() function) generated from
TagSoup parser which included the following DTD entity reference: The data that I
need is in the xhtml document already and the lookup of DTD has been more of a nuisance
in this case. As a result, I am wondering whether the following steps could be achieved:
( i ) How to direct the document() function in masterdox1.xsl stylesheet to use
catalog.xml to lookup local a copy of DTD instead. Please refer to the original issue
[url=null]http://www.biglist.com/lists/lists.mulberrytech.com/xsl-list/archives/201007/msg00094.html
[/url]which has been partly resolved using catalog.xml when looking up the main source
in Java as follows: // Convert State HTML to XML format SAXBuilder stateSaxBuilder = new
SAXBuilder("org.ccil.cowan.tagsoup.Parser", false); org.jdom.Document
xhtmlmainjdomDocument = saxBuilder.build(originalHTMLFILE); ..... Transformer
transformer = TransformerFactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(masterdox1.xsl));
JDOMSource source = new JDOMSource(xhtmlmainjdomDocument); JDOMResult result = new
JDOMResult(); transformer.transform(source, result); // breaks on line 17 below in
masterdox1.xsl when trying to read additional xhtml docs .... The snippet of
masterdox1.xsl is as follows: 8 <xsl:template match="/"> 9
10
11 <title><xsl:value-of
select="/report/title"/></title> 12 13 14
Selected Purchase Orders -
Unsorted
15 <xsl:for-each select="/report/po"> 16
<xsl:apply-templates 17
select="[b]document(@filename)/purchase-order[/b]"/> 18
</xsl:for-each> 19 20 21 </xsl:template> ....
Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks, Jack

The basic answer is here:
http://xml.apache.org/commons/components/resolver/resolver-article.html except that it's
written in terms of using the command line rather than the JAXP API. It describes it
like this: Similarly, Saxon supports command-line access to the resolvers: -x
org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.ResolvingXMLReader -y
org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.ResolvingXMLReader -r
org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.CatalogResolver The -x class is used to read source
documents, the -y class is used to read stylesheets. The one that's important in your
case (resolving the reference to a DTD held in the source document) is the -x option,
which selects an XML parser preconfigured to use an EntityResolver that uses the
catalog. The equivalent option using the JAXP API is
factory.setAttribute("http://saxon.sf.net/feature/sourceParserClass",
"org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.ResolvingXMLReader")

Hi Michael, Yes, perfect! Everything is working at last. Word cannot explain how
elated I feel finally after beating around the bush for so long. This couldn't have been
achieved without your help. Thank you very much once again, Jack
