Re: Defining XML Entities in FOP 2.2

[Glenn Adams]

Since the XSLT front end functionality in FOP serves merely as a
convenience function for the user, you may choose to use alternative tools
not integrated into FOP as your front end. I suggest you do this in order
to transform from your input data set into XSL-FO input files which you can
feed directly to FOP without making use of the the XSLT front end found in
FOP that does not support XML Entities.

Glenn

Defining XML Entities in FOP 2.2

[Jens Hofschröer]

Hi

Since FOP 2.2 it is no longer allowed to use a DOCTYPE declaration[1]. 
An issue originally only disallowing the loading of external DTDs.


We are using FOP to transform a Docbook document separated in several 
files. Each of these files uses a local "settings.dtd" with common XML 
Entities used across the whole document. This is no longer possible with 
FOP 2.2. Even a simple DOCTYPE declaration without any file reference is 
disallowed now.


The following error occurs if you have any DOCTYPE in your document(s):
> javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: DOCTYPE is disallowed when 
the feature "http://apache.org/xml/features/disallow-doctype-decl; set 
to true.


For Docbook these XML Entities are a common and documented[2] way to use 
"constants" across your document. So please allow the use of internal 
DOCTYPE and/or the use of local DTDs.
