Slick V3.3 manual URL Mappings Dialog

XML

Map URLs to a different location. Whenever opening a URL, the URL map is examined to see if this URL is mapped to a different location. If the URL is mapped to a different location, then that mapped location is used.

This feature allows you to work offline or from a test location. For example, if you need to work with XML documents that contain external DTDs while offline you can map the URL to the DTD to a local file. Simil- arly, if you wanted to test changes to a DTD without modifying every XML documents DTD references, you can map the URL to the test DTD location.
