What version of XmlBeans are you using -- I ran your example with the latest version of the source from SVN and after setting the options like you do, I get 1 of 2 results:
1. The entity is resolved/expanded and all is well 2. I get an error message that my_definitions.dtd is not found if I have the file in the wrong directory. But in either case, the resolver appears to at least be trying to resolve the external DTD. I would like to look further into why you're running into this issue (Oh, the reason that it works when you have the entity declared at the start at the XML is that in that case there are no external enities/dtds to be resolved...But you shouldn't have to change all of your documents). -Yana -----Original Message----- From: Jones, Damon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2005 9:33 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Reading entity information from a DTD within the XMLBean Thanks for your recommendations, but I am still having issues. I tried setting the option: setLoadUseDefaultResolver() -------------------------------------------- XmlOptions opts = new XmlOptions(); opts.setLoadUseDefaultResolver(); InputsDocument inputDoc = null; try{ inputDoc = InputsDocument.Factory.parse(file,opts); } .... -------------------------------------------- and I still get the same error. I did read something about an EntityResolver, but I don't quite understand the concept and have not found a good example of using them in XMLBeans. I noticed when I change the XML to the following, it works: ------------------------------------------------ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="no"?> <!-- This is a comment after the first line--> <!DOCTYPE csf-inputs[ <!ENTITY marketing_grp "My Marketing Group Inc."> ]> <inputs> <id>&marketing_grp;</id> <address>342 Carlton Way</address> </inputs> ------------------------------------------------ But I cannot change all of the XML documents that I have since the entity value will change. I need to have access to the entity descriptions in a separate local file. Anymore ideas would be much appreciated.
