RE: multiplication entities/elements in the pools of DTDValidator

[Dean Roddey]

You want to explain the problem a little bit more? I don't see a problem really. You are including two external entities, each of which defines some entities. Are you saying that you end up with multiple copies of some entities? -------------- Dean Roddey Software Geek Extraordinaire Portal, Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Boris Tarasyuk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2001 10:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: multiplication entities/elements in the pools of DTDValidator Please check, may be this is new bug. When DTD contains param. entities with System Ids references to other part of DTD, parser prepares whole DTD. As result DTDValidator object after parsing will contains number of the same entities/elements.  Example:   araticle.xml   <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE article SYSTEM "article.dtd"> <article> </article> araticle.dtd   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!ENTITY % HTMLlat1 PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Latin1//EN//HTML" "HTMLlat1.ent"> %HTMLlat1; <!ENTITY % HTMLsymbol PUBLIC   "-//W3C//ENTITIES Symbols//EN//HTML" "HTMLsymbol.ent"> %HTMLsymbol; <!-- Root element: article --> <!ELEMENT article ANY>   HTMLlat1.ent   <!ENTITY nbsp "&#160;"> <!ENTITY iexcl "&#161;"> HTMLsymbol.ent   <!ENTITY sigma    "&#963;"> <!ENTITY tau      "&#964;">   After parsing DTDValidator object contains: elements: article - 3   entities:             sigma   - 2             tau    - 2             nbsp - 2             iexcl - 2             all built-in XML entities - 3   Boris Tarasyuk I4I                 Boris Tarasyuk
