Referencing an external DTD
hi,
I am facing problems while trying to parse an XML file, when the correspoding DTD is a jar file resource. I get the following error
org.xml.sax.SAXException: Fatal Error: URI=jar:file:/u/arun/projects/base/jar/c.jar!/config/prices/parser/input.xml Line=2: External entity not found: "jar:file:/u/arun/projects/base/jar/c.jar!/config/prices/parser/../gui/format.dtd".
at deshaw.common.format.parser.XmlParser.fatalError(XmlParser.java:575)
at org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2.fatal(Parser2.java:3185)
at .....
my xml file URI is
jar:file:/u/arun/projects/base/jar/c.jar!/config/prices/parser/input.xml
the dtd is in the same jar "c.jar", albeit in a different directory "gui"
jar:file:/u/arun/projects/base/jar/c.jar!/config/prices/gui/format.dtd
in input.xml i am trying to reference the dtd as follows
<!DOCTYPE Formats SYSTEM "../gui/format.dtd">
however this relative reference does not work, and throws the above exception. i can't understand why this fails. Can somebody throw more light on this problem, and help me resolve it?
Thanks
arun
