http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27068 XALAN fails using the document() function to open XML file with external DTD header offline Summary: XALAN fails using the document() function to open XML file with external DTD header offline Product: XalanJ2 Version: 2.5 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: org.apache.xalan AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am using XALAN packages 2.4.1, 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 and all produce the same errors, if I use the document() function to open an XHTML file with an external DTD. I have recognized, that the company I am developing the framework for uses a Proxy server. XALAN does not use the settings entered in the LAN settings of the Internet Explorer's LAN settings. So it cannot follow the URI defined in the DTD header (connection time out): <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> In this case, the entity must (should) not be opened by XALAN. It is only a XML definition, but as far as I know, this information is not used for XML transformation (that's what XALAN is used for). In my scenarios, the source XML file has not to be validated against the Doctype definition. But I can't get XALAN run, because my company uses a Proxy server for internet connection. If opening such external entities could be optional in XALAN, I could use it without deleting the DTD header in my sources.
