The Apache XML Commons Resolver classes implement Catalog-based entity and URI resolution.

Overview

The resolver class implements the full semantics of OASIS Technical Resolution 9401:1997 (Amendment 2 to TR 9401) catalogs and the 06 Aug 2001 Committee Specification of OASIS XML Catalogs.

It also includes a framework of classes designed to read catalog files in a number of formats:

1. The plain-text flavor described by TR9401.
2. The XCatalog XML format defined by John Cowan
3. The XML Catalog format defined by the OASIS Entity Resolution Technical Committee.

Quick Start

The tools classes provide "out-of-the-box" SAX1 Parser, SAX2 XMLReader, and JAXP URIResolvers. If you're just interested in hooking a parser or URI resolver into your application, this is the place to start.
