Re: [docbook-apps] Problems resolving olinks

Hi Sean,
I know that relative paths to an olink database work with shell commands 
and Makefiles. Your problem appears to be an issue with Ant, as far as I 
can tell.  The question is, what directory is the relative path being 
computed from within your Ant setup?

Hello Bob,

You are right. I replace the value of

<property name="target.database.document" value="../sae-olinkdb.xml"/>

With a full path to the sae-olinkdb.xml and it works. Now I ponder why the
value above does not work when I know the path and filename are correct?

While I have catalogs enabled I would like to resolve to this file manually
and entering a full path I cannot ensure portability across co-authors
systems.
