Hi !
// Actually, this is a very typical question, and yes, you use external
// entities. Instead of defining them in your DTD (i.e. the external
// subset), you use the internal subset within your XML document:
//
// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="no"?>
// <!DOCTYPE classes SYSTEM 'classes.dtd' [
// <!ENTITY Person SYSTEM "Person.xml" >
// <!ENTITY Security SYSTEM "Security.xml" >
// <!ENTITY Audit SYSTEM "Audit.xml" >
// <!ENTITY Organization SYSTEM "Organization.xml" >
// <!ENTITY SecurityGroup SYSTEM "SecurityGroup.xml" >
// <!ENTITY Contact SYSTEM "Contact.xml" >
//
// ]>
// <classes>
// &Person;
// &Security;
// &Audit;
// &Organization;
// &SecurityGroup;
// &Contact;
//
// </classes>
//
// HTH,
Thanx for your reply!
I need a slightly different approach, than the one you suggested.
I need to use the entity-value in an attribute of another object than the
root-object:
-------------------------------------------
TEST.DTD
-------------------------------------------
<!ELEMENT configuration (sections?)>
<!ELEMENT sections (section*)>
<!ELEMENT section EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST section
name CDATA #REQUIRED
xmlfile ENTITY #REQUIRED>
-------------------------------------------
TEST.XML
-------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE configuration SYSTEM "test.dtd"
[
<!ENTITY xmlfile SYSTEM "section.xml">
]>
<configuration>
<sections>
<section name="Default-Values" xmlfile="xmlfile"/>
</sections>
</configuration>
-------------------------------------------
this doesnt work, because the entity isnt defined within the DTD...
Best regards,
Hans Pesata
