I have downloaded the binary release of Xerces 1.0.1 for Java and tried to
use its DOM parser to parse a xml file (with a dtd file for validation)
using the following code:
try {
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation",true);
parser.parse(uri);
doc = parser.getDocument();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
...
}
The problem is although there's an element ("Abbreviation" - see below xml
and dtd) in the xml file which is not defined in the dtd file, I haven't got
any exception. However when I use Microsoft XML Notepad I got an error
message about the undefined element.
The XML file is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE mystore SYSTEM "mystore.dtd">
<mystore>
<items>
<book Name="xml spec" Code="9001">
<Abbreviation>xml</Abbreviation>
<Author>xml.org</Author>
</book>
..
</items>
</mystore>
The dtd is defined as follows:
<!ELEMENT mystore items>
<!ELEMENT items (book)*>
<!ELEMENT book (Abbr?,Author*)>
<!ATTLIST book Name CDATA #REQUIRED Code CDATA #REQUIRED>
<!ELEMENT Abbr (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT Author (#PCDATA)>
Is it a bug or am I missing something in the code? I'm using
JDK1.2.2/Windows NT4 + SP5/Xerces1.0.1 for Java.
