OK... that's how I understood it ought to work. So I took the example and made up an XML file ike this: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE test:top-element SYSTEM "test1.dtd"> <test:top-element xmlns:test="http://deltaxml.com/docs/dtds/test/test-co1";> <test:complex-structure/> </test:top-element> And a DTD like this: <!ELEMENT test:top-element (test:complex-structure)+> <!ATTLIST test:top-element xmlns:test CDATA #FIXED "http://deltaxml.com/docs/dtds/test/test-co1";> <!ELEMENT test:complex-structure (EMPTY)> The Java code creates a SAX parser, turns validation and namespace awareness on, and then tries to parse the file. The result is the same as before, with a parser error in line 3 of the XML: "test:top-element must be declared" If I turn validation off then the problem doesn't occur, but then neither does validation, so it's hardly useful :-) Any hints as to what is going on will be gratefully received! julian Templeman Consulting Limited London and North Wales http://www.templeman-consulting.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
