Thanks for the advise. I dont have the ability to manually edit documents (there's actually legal/contract issues involved)
But I can "pre processes" them to resolve entity references. I was sort of hoping something as big as ML would handle this correctly but I can work around it. -David ---------------------------------------- David A.

You have to appended the xml file with doctype declaration try adding this to you xml file before insertion <!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//DUMMY//DTD dummy DTD//EN" [ <!ENTITY ldquo "“" > ]> Vidhya From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lee, David Sent: Thursday, April 09, 2009 10:42 To: [email protected] Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Loading an xml document referencing externally defined entities I'm trying to load an XML document using the XCC library which has reference to entities defined seperately in a .ent file. The document header has a DTD reference --- xml doc <!DOCTYPE TOPIC SYSTEM "lww-five-minute.dtd"[]> Inside lww-five-minute.dtd is an external entity reference --- dtd doc <!ENTITY % xmlspecchars-integrated.ent PUBLIC "-//LWW//DTD XML Special Characters Module v4.0 20050408//EN" "xmlspecchars-integrated.ent" > %xmlspecchars-integrated.ent; --------- Then inside xmlspecchars-integrated.ent is entity definitions e.g. <!ENTITY ldquo "“" > <!--=double quotation mark, left, U+201C--> When I try to load the document using Session.insertContent() I get the following error: com.marklogic.xcc.exceptions.XQueryException: XDMP-DOCENTITYREF: Invalid entity reference "ldquo" at new5mcc.xml line 28635 in /insert I've tried putting the dtd and ent files onto the ML server but no avail. If I pre-parse the XML with some other XML tool which resolves the entities then put *that* file to ML it works fine. Any suggestions on how to load an xml document which uses external entity definitions ? thanks ---------------------------------------- David A.
