You are right : you have the same problem as I have.
Parsing only a subpart of the xml document (log-body.xml) leads to this malformed document error. I don't understand why there is not backward compatibility for SGML like include. What is the replacement for this type of include ? It can't be << XInclude >> (http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/) since it is still a working draft, not a recommendation. However at the time I will be forced to move to latest Xerces, I may try XInclude for log4j in replacement of SGML include mechanism like this : --------------------- log-header.xml <?xml version="1.0" ?> <log4j:eventSet xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j"; xmlns:xinclude="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";> <xi:include href="log-body.xml"/> </log4j:eventSet> --------------------- Internet [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 09/17/2001 03:26 PM Veuillez répondre à [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pour : xerces-j-user cc : ccc : Objet : RE: Support of SGML like includes in XML files Thomas, I think I'm having a similar problem, also through log4j. My external entity is not a well-formed document, which I understand is fine so long as the whole document, after the external entity has been resolved, is well-formed. I get the error message, "The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed." Did you manage to find a work-around for your problem? Thanks, Howard. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2001 1:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Support of SGML like includes in XML files Hello, I use an XML appender for log4j, it produces one file log-body.xml, this file needs a header file to be valid (log-header.xml) that includes the body. It looks like this : ------------- LOG-HEADER.XML <?xml version="1.0" ?> <!DOCTYPE log4j:eventSet SYSTEM "log4j.dtd" [<!ENTITY data SYSTEM "log-body.xml">]> <log4j:eventSet xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j";> &data; </log4j:eventSet> ------------- LOG-BODY.XML <log4j:event category="com.bnpparibas.eqd.bomodel.generator.Main" timestamp="1000290849790" priority="INFO" thread="Thread-1"> <log4j:message><![CDATA[Generator started !]]></log4j:message> </log4j:event> The problem is that Xerces 1.4.3 can't parse file LOG-HEADER.XML (using SAX), it ends up with a NullPointerException wheras Xerces 1.1.3 parses LOG-HEADER.XML successfully (including log-body.xml) !
