Hmmm...
I guess I'm just confused at how on your installation, it searches
DTD/x3d-30.dtd defined in the entity resolver.. On my installation, it
searches for the www.web3d.org DTD's specified in SAVAdapter.
I'm using JAXP 1.2 (the latest release, not the stuff that comes with 1.4.1_01)
with JDK 1.4.1_01. Could that throw it off?
Also, one thing to note is that there are no examples in the examples directory
:) There is only a single .wrl, no X3D samples at all, either in the .tar
download or the CVS 'get' that I did.
I'm at the end of wits. I've got the default config right from the .tar file.
I'm pointing to all of the jars in the tar, with the classpath pointing to
the base dir of the installation. No luck. It seems for now hacking
SAVAdapter is my only option.
Anyway, thanks for all of the help. I guess I'll just use my 'hacked' version
for now and actually get some work done :) I sure hope that extrusion node works!

No probs - I'll just rearrange your email a bit:

No, everything looks good now from the basic setup end. So long as your
browser classes are included in the classpath, you can run it from
anywhere. So, I think the basic setup issues are not done with (crossing
fingers!)
The test here is if you can take one of the test files provided in the
examples directory of the download and run it without complaints. If
that works, then you're fine. Remember, the example files on web3d.org
are completely invalid and should not be trusted to run.
It's still giving me the same exception at
org.web3d.x3d.jaxp.X3DSAVAdapter.startDTD(X3DSAVAdapter.java:370)
because the DTD is not one of the two allowed in the list.
Correct. Xj3D is very anal about what is it allows. If you don't provide
something that is defined by the spec, it will bitch and moan about it
(and usually quite loudly). So, I assume you've changed the PUBLIC ID
part to the correct form, and the one that it is now complaining about
is the SYSTEM part (the http:... URL).
That, unfortunately is a gray area right now. What the final URL is is
still under debate. Mainly small things (do we capitalise the first S on
specification, should it be plural or single etc etc). There is no
specification on what that correct form is right now. We had to pick
something for the release (with the minimum goal of at least getting
people used to the fact that you must provide correct data) so chose our
preferred form and put it into the release. So what that really means
is, for the moment you have to play by the rules Xj3D enforces, or don't
play at all. Bit nasty, but that's the way we wanted to be. Of course as
soon as the dust settles on the final form we'll change the code to
suit, but until then we're not going to change the code every five
minutes as that is bad for users. Pick something and stick with it for
consistency until the final rule is decided on and then move everyone at
once to that final rule. The SDK CD is getting frozen late Feb and
everything in the spec should be finalised by then. We're leaning
towards doing an interim milestone release (maybe called M6-1?) that
brings us right up to spec compliance for that CD. At that point feel
free to bitch about us not following the spec :)
Hmmm.... you're right. Sleep would be good. Getting frustrated, just
with typing...
