Ah, some clarification then. I wasn't aware that we did this differently so I checked. We brought down a local copy of the DTD because initially (and still do) we had people working disconnected or at least without an Internet connection. The task would fail since it couldn't get to apache.org. I'm guessing everything would work fine between the two platforms if I shifted this back to use the default URI. From inspection of the code it looks like the task must be using the DTDResolver.
But the still results in our other problem: you must be connected to the Net in order to run this task (even though the task itself has no true network dependencies). Does anyone else see this as a problem or are we just different because we don't want to have to be connected to build? -----Original Message----- From: Scott Eade [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 4:54 PM To: Turbine Torque Users List Subject: Re: TorqueDataModelTask and cross-platform XML I'm a little confused? The default doctype line in schema files refers to: http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/dtd/database.dtd ...which DTDResolver maps to the local file system in a platform independent way. Would I be correct to say that the problem is that TorqueDataModelTask.java is not using DTDResolver when it parses the schema? I.e. If it used the existing DTDResolver you would no longer have to change the doctype declaration in your schema file? Cheers, Scott -- Scott Eade Backstage Technologies Pty.
