This article is part of the [[Advanced User's Guide]]. It clarifies how to deal with mapping system IDs (DTD locations) and URIs to local resources when parsing and transforming XML data. {{Announce|Changed with Version 10:}}
* The [https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/core/xml-catalog-api1.html Java 11: XML Catalog API] is used to resolve references to external resources.
The catalog location in the pragma can be given relative to the current working directory (the directory that is returned by <code>file:current-dir()</code>) or as an absolute operating system path. The catalog location in the pragma is not an XQuery expression; no concatenation or other operations may occur in the pragma, and the location string must not be surrounded by quotes.
As mentioned above, the Java resolver doesn’t work for XSLT include or import URIs when executing XSLT with Saxon. You can use Norman Walsh’s xmlresolver.org instead. The catalog location may be given as a path relative to the current working directory , as described above. When you want to specify it as an absolute path, this resolver expects a file URI, not a file system path. Example for setting it on Windows prior to before executing one of the .bat scripts, such as bin\basexgui.bat:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bat">
