RE: XML DOCTYPE problem

[Robert Wray]

Have you tried moving your .dtd file to somewhere else? Try moving so that 
is accessible via web or say in the /WEB-INF/dtds/innovtech/datasheet.dtd 
of your application. Is there a particular reason you need to store all 
your dtd's in "c:/dtds" ?

This seems very strange. Almost any xml editor or xml system uses the public
or system identifier to point to a the DTD so it can vaildate the instance.
The public or system identifier is part of EVERY valid xml file. There must
be some way to handle it?? It's true that the jstl xml parser doesn't
validate it, that's not what I need since I will be producing valid xml, I
just need the jstl x:parse to ignore it so I don't get an error?? Someone
must have run into this before.
Thanks for the help though. I'll keep researching it.

I think the reference to a doctype has to be on the format
www.somesite.com/dtd/data.dtd or similar
Besides i don't thinkt it will actually validate against that
DTD anyway ....

Hi everyone,

I have created a JSP page that use the jstl xml tag library, specifically
using
xpath. Everything works perfectly fine as long as I don't have a doctype
declaration like the following in my XML instance:
<!DOCTYPE datasheet PUBLIC "-//Innovtech//DTD datasheet//EN"
"c:/dtds/innovtech/datasheet.dtd">
If I remove it, everything works great, but if I don't, I get a java error
like this:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Could not resolve entity reference:
"///c:/dtds/innovtech/datasheet.dtd"
I have to have the doctype in the xml. Does anyone know how I can fix this??

I did post this to the taglib email list, but it doesn't seem to get near
the traffic as this group.
Thanks!

-Brian
