Re: Question about DTDs ...

[nicolas De Loof]

DOCTYPE syntax uses an optional URI for the DTD, so that a validating 
XML parser can download an unknown DTD and validate the document. Struts 
registers local copy of it's configuration DTD to the XML parser 
(struts, tiles & validator). This way they're is no need to have access 
to the Internet

Alain Van Vyve a �crit :

A lot of things have to be parsed : web.xml, struts-config.xml  and so on

so for example, lines like that are already present in our XML files :

<!DOCTYPE web-app
  PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
  "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd";>
or

<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD 
Struts Configuration 1.1//EN"
 "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_1.dtd";>



I understand the concept of DTD but
does it mean that each time a XML file is parsed, a connection to SUN 
or Jakarta is established in order to retrieve the DTD ?

Thank's

Alain
