thanks jacob. i thought i'd already tried every combination of those options... but it's working with: <xmlvalidate failonerror="false" lenient="true" warn="true"> <attribute name="http://xml.org/sax/features/validation" value="false" /> <attribute name="http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-external-dtd" value="false" /> <fileset refid="xml.files" /> </xmlvalidate> i was using <property> instead of <attribute> which sets parser properties as opposed to parser features. it would be great to see this is the faq. - p > [1] http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/features.html > [2] http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/features.html#validation > [3] > http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/features.html#nonvalidating.load-external-dtd > > > Jake > > At 03:42 AM 12/20/2006, you wrote: > >I do not know how to tell xerces to not follow a dtd. > >Note that a dtd does not only have validity stuff, but it > >can also define entities so turning of validation does not have > >to mean do not look at the dtd. > > > >I ran into a similar problem at work, and could be be > >bothered to figure out what magic I need to do > >to tell xerces not to follow the DTD, so I wrote a > >DtdFilter to filter out the DTD <!DOCTYPE> from > >the input string. > > > >Peter > > > >On 12/19/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > >> > >> > any progress or workaround on that (for ant stable 1.6.5)? > >> > >> i've got this working, but at a snail's pace... not surprising since the > >> following is rather io intensive (as well as unidiomatic): > >> > >> <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml"/> > >> <taskdef name="jing" > >classname="com.thaiopensource.relaxng.util.JingTask" /> > >> > >> <for param="file"> > >> <path> > >> <fileset casesensitive="false" > >> dir="." > >> id="xml.files" > >> includes="**/*.xml" > >> /> > >> </path> > >> > >> <sequential> > >> <jing rngfile="wellformed.rng" file="@{file}" failonerror="false" > /> > >> </sequential> > >> </for> > >> > >> you'll notice 2 optional tasks: > >> > >> - jing for an alternate well-formedness checker (specified in the > relax-ng > >> file wellformed.rng). also using the undocumented jing attribute > failonerror > >> here, to stop jing from failing the build. however, just like > xmlvalidate, it > >> stops processing after the first problem anyway, so we can't use a > nested > >> fileset, but: > >> > >> - antcontrib and the <for> task to iterate over the lot > >> > >> i've got 400 xml files, and this took just short of 5 minutes, so about > 1 > >> second per file. xmllint did it near instantly. > >> > >> still hoping to hear of a better solution. anyone? > >> > >> - p --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
