Re: DTD for server.xml??

[Matthew Boeckman]

Just so there is a confirmation from someone who did it, This works!

From my server.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app[
<!ENTITY vhost SYSTEM "/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12-LE-jdk14/conf/vhost.xml" >
]>
<Server ...
*snip*
</Host>
%vhost;
</Engine>
</Service>

FWIW, vhost.xml is a full <Host> subset.


Thanks!

-Matthew

I thin it should be defined like this:

I did not try it but that the way ENTITY works usually.

Sorry, that should be

Typo in "vhost".

That makes sense. OK, next question, in a thread started yesterday, it was
mentioned (correctly, I assume) that you could use XML entities to include
external XML files into server.xml. So, this link came up on Google:

http://tech.irt.org/articles/js212/#example_2

Which leads a person to believe that something like
<!ENTITY vhost SYSTEM "/path/to/tomcat/conf/vhost1.xml">

Then towards the bottom:

&vhost1

would work in server.xml, but it doesn't. Error: "Catalina.start:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The content beginning "<!" is not legal markup. "

Is this a futile path, or is it possible to include external XML into
server.xml when server.xml is parsed? If so, how?

Thanks!

It would be almost impossible to write a DTD for server.xml

since an

admin may inject custom classes (Listeners/Loggers).

To have a dtd, we would need to know every property which can be set for every class (which may be made known in server.xml) since

tomcat uses

reflection from Diegester.

Hello -

I notice that the top of web.xml has:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web

Application 2.3//EN"

"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd";>

yet the top of server.xml has nothing.

I'm very new to XML, so forgive me if this is a lame or FA

question, but is

there a DTD for server.xml? If so, why isn't it specified

in server.xml,

and what is the URL? Is server.xml "real, official XML" or just
"convenience" XML?
