Description
Woden currently retrieves XML schemas from the Internet each time it performs a validator. This causes a multisecond performance degradation and prevents validation from working when there is no Internet access.
Woden should use an XML catalog to resolve references to Internet resources. There should be an API for controlling the XML catalog so that Woden can be imbedded in other systems, such as Eclipse and Ant, that provide XML catalogs.
The XML catalog should be consulted when resolving all resource requests, e.g. for XML schema or WSDL.
