Re: [docbook-apps] Resolver Classes (Version 1.1) Cannot find CatalogManager.properties

[Steve Whitlatch <swhitlat at getnet dot net>]

I found the fix. So, this post will record that fix into the 
docbook-apps archive. 

Although ~/jre/lib/ext can be a convenient place to put jar files so 
that they are automatically included in the CLASSPATH, Resolver 
Classes (Version 1.1) may not work as expected if placed there.

Here is some information I found through google.

> I'm curious as to why James doesn't use jars in the ext directory? 
The reason is that problems can arise related to the JRE extension 
loading. Irrespective of the extension spec, the JRE will add all jar 
files in the /ext directory into the system classpath. This can cause 
all sort of trouble if you are running some particular version of a 
xml parse that's not compatible with something bundled in the JRE ext 
directory. The solution in Phoenix is to declare a different ext 
directory u default. The solution in Merlin is to use the standard 
ext directory but allow the possibility to override this if there is 
a problem.

The fix? 
 - Remove resolver.jar from ~/jre/lib/ext
- Place resolver.jar and CatalogManager.properties on the CLASSPATH

It won't work if one leaves a copy of resolver.jar in ~/jre/lib/ext

 . . . not the best solution . It would be better if the 
incompatibilities were eliminated, but at least I know what not to 
do.
