Hi Mirko,
Can't you use an EntityResolver to map this external entity to the version
you want? If you want the entity to be empty, you return an InputSource
that points to an empty stream. If you want it to be a particular version
of the entity, you return an InputSource that points to the appropriate
stream.

Hi Paul,
thanks for your answer. But it does not solve my problem because
i want to have only one version of this DTD. The extension test.ent
is a company specific structure. Other companies who uses the DTD too,
should
not be aware of this extension. Consequently i had the idea to put this
structure
in a separate file and use an optional external entity. In this way
maybe it is possible to omit the extension if other companies want to use
the DTD
and no modification of the DTD is necessary.
Despite of serveral tries to realize it, i did not manage to do it. I'm not
sure if it is possible.
Do you or anybody else know another possibility?
Mirko

Those users who want it can declare it in the internal subset, so
leave it out of the DTD.
