You need to do some background on XML. XML can either be well-formed or it
can be valid. Well formed means that all tags are opened and closed
properly without overlapping (briefly). XML can only be valid if it
conforms to a DTD - this cannot be any DTD! The DTD depends on the design
of your XML application. Basically it specifies which elements can appear
in your XML, in which order, where in relation to other elements and what
attributes they require (briefly).
If you violate the DTD then your XML is invalid, even though it may be well
formed. In other words, valid XML is always well formed but the converse is
not true.
So, you cannot just use the DTD specified below as it is for a completely
different XML application.

Subject: Re: XML from servlets & XSLT??
firstly, Thanks for your help.
So are you say that I need a DTD in my prods.xml, or are you saying that I
need a this particular DTD from netscape??
At the moment I don't have any specified DTD for prods.xml. Will the
transformation work if I were to put in an internal DTD??
