Shared entity include file issues

All,

 

I have an ENTITY in the DOCTYPE for my documents that references an entity 
file that I include. However, I want to move that to central directory so that 
it can be available for other docs as well. 

 

I would like to resolve it's location with a catalog file, but I am having 
no luck adding it to my catalog file. The file is still looked for in the 
current directory.

 

For example here is my source:

 

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC 
"-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.4//EN" "http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.4/docbookx.dtd"[
 <!ENTITY 
% xinclude SYSTEM "met-xinclude.mod">
 <!ENTITY % met-defs SYSTEM 
"met-defs.mod">
 %xinclude;
 %met-defs; 
]>

 

<book>
 <title>&DOC_TITLE;</title>
...

 

I would like to map the two mod files to a specific directory with a 
catalog  file. I have looked at  Bob's section on "Using an 
XML catalog to relocate dbgenent.mod" in

http://sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ModularEntities.html

 

But that kind of hides the info a bit plus it only works with one extra 
include file, not two. It seems like a catalog should resolve an "ENTITY" 
filename.

 

Can anyone help me out with this?

 

Thanks,

Dean Nelson
