Hi,

i'm using xerces2 to deal with XML files my JAVA app stores data in.
Now i have my schema located in %program-path%/resources but want to be
free to store my XML files wherever i want and also don't want to
hard-code %program-path%/resources into the XML file.

I think Xerces looks in the Java-Classpath for the schema but this
didn't work..

Is there any way to tell Xerces where to look for the schema at
runtime?

Thanks alot!

Hi,

The best solution is to use a catalog to map from the schema locations
from your file to actual locak schema documents. Xerces supports XML
Catalogs, see http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/faq-xcatalogs.html
Another possibility is to set your own entity resolver and resolve the
document locations to the actual documents.

Best Regards,
George

To specify your own search algorithm, write and plug in an Entity
Resolver. (I believe that's used for schemas as well.) See the Xerces
docs for details.

.... Or URI Resolver. (I've forgotten whether both are supported or if
there was a namechange in that interface; should be easy to check.)
