URL Mappings syntax

[RobFreundlich]

I'm trying to set up URL mappings so that SE doesn't have to go out to the web every time I open an XML file.  I can't seem to get the syntax right in the dialog, though.  Suppose I've got an XML file with the following:

<web-app version="2.4"
         xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">

and I've got web-app_2_4.xsd in my c:\dev\tools\dtd directory.  What are the correct From and To values in the URL Mappings dialog?



Suppose I've got this:

<!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC
      "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configuration 1.1//EN"
      "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/tiles-config_1_1.dtd">

with the dtd in my c:\dev\tools\dtd directory.  Again, what's the correct values?


Is there any way I can just say "look in c:\dev\tools\dtd" for all dtd's and xsd's?

What are the correct From and To values in the URL Mappings dialog?

Two ways:

• Map the http URL to another http .xsd URL
  http://nant.sourceforge.net/schema/ mapped to http://nant.sourceforge.net/release/latest/nant.xsd
• Map the http URL to a full local path
  http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi mapped to C:\Dev\Wix\3.0.2806.0\doc\wix.xsd

Is there any way I can just say "look in c:\dev\tools\dtd" for all dtd's and xsd's?

I've wanted this myself, and it's in our feature planning for v.next.

And since you asked, how would you like the feature to work? I've been thinking that you just drop your .xsd files in a directory, and SE would just scan each file for the targetNamespace="url" attribute to determine the mappings.

For dtd(s), one directory is OK, likely (assuming that one isn't defining them in an application).  xsd(s) are another matter, since applications can have them of the same name, but different versions.  Most of ours do now.

That'd work great for me - I put all of mine in a specific directory, so being able to just name that directory would be perfect.
