Re: How do I parse a DTD in Java?

[Henry Miller]

Absolutely!  I'm using it already. It might be a little tricky, I had 
to do a lot of trial and error to figure out the pieces I wanted 
(there's not much in the way of Docs about using Xerces in this way), 
but the point is it *can* be done. I was able to pull out <!ELEMENT > 
declarations and their attributes, etc. and write output files based 
on this data.

I forget the name, but there's a good sample program in the Xerces-J 
directory to get you started.

Depending on what you want to do, it might be more than you need. All 
solutions offered up so far have been very good ones -- I just 
noticed that this one wasn't offered.

Last time I read this, it wasn't working for DTDs (i.e. you could 
pre-parser them but you couldn't inspect them). Can DTDs be 
inspected by Xerces now ?

Thanks.
