Description

Currently, the location of the XML catalog is set using Java system properties. This means the setting must be global per Java process which limits Woden while running in environments like Eclipse or Web application servers. Instead, Woden should not define any Java system properties. Instead, any values, such as the catalog location, should be passed in as parameters.

For example, the parameters could be passed in as command line arguments on a Java main, or in a build script for Ant. In these cases the parameters should then be set on an object that is accessible to the catalog code.
