Using XML Catalogs with XMLSPy

Use XML catalog files in XMLSpy to specify or override schema file locations.

Add custom file associations to the Altova CustomCatalog.xml file. Add one or more nextCatalog elements in order for XMLSpy to use user-created catalog files.

Steps:

• Go to File > Open.
• Browse to the Altova/XMLSpy#### data directory
• Open CustomCatalog.xml (see below)
• Add a nextCatalog element that specifies the location of your catalog file (example below)
• Restart XMLSpy

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<catalog
  xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog Catalog.xsd">

  <nextCatalog catalog="https://example.com/xml-catalog.xml"</u>/>

</catalog>
