Title: RE: Alternative location for DTDs

I answered this a little hastily. You could simply locate your DTD in a central place (say a WEB server) and have all your references to it by the central URL.   You still might want to look at Entity Resolver though. I have found that providing a caching entity resolver significantly improves performance.   Chris Raber, Systems Engineer, AvantGo Inc. http://www.avantgo.com/   -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Raber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 12:48 PM To: 'Lajos Moczar'; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Alternative location for DTDs   You can provide your own entity resolver. This can improve performance too!

I have a bunch of xml files to process with Xalan, each in a separate dirctory. All the XMLs have a DTD declaration like this: <!DOCTYPE FRUID_XML_Tree SYSTEM "mydoc.dtd"> The problem is that I don't want to have to copy mydoc.dtd into each directory. Ideally, I'd like to ignore the DTD declaration, but alternatively I need to at least be able to tell Xalan to look for the dtd in a different directory (like the directory where the xsl file is). Originally, I thought that I could use a custom URIResolver for this, but it appears that the URIResolver is not called to resolve DTD locations. Can anyone suggest anything? I have this problem with serveral different applications and I'm at a loss as to what to do. Regards, Lajos
