Hi All, I am building an adapter on my Struts app to allow Web Service calls from remote parties. A remote call constructs a XML and sends the request via http to my Struts app. My app processes the request by parsing the XML data posted and returns the XML result. This is all working but my spec states that I use DTD and a validating parser to ensure that the request's and responses contain valid data elements. I would like to be able to build the XML data completely dynamically and then return that DOM to the client. My problem is that the DOM built must contain the DOCTYPE declaration for the server to use in parsing(validating). When I build a document using the DOMImplementation using a DocType and output that DOM to some OutputStream the DOCTYPE declaration is missing. I have read some reports that state the ability to build a DOM data structure with a DOCTYPE declaration is not yet supported by parser implementations. I am using latest version of Xerces/Xalan and unfortunately there archives are down and that mailing list is dead. Does anyone know how I can achieve this and what parser implementation supports the dynamic building of a DOM with a DOCTYPE. Many thanks for your help, Greg
