Peter,
Thank you for that code I found it very useful. One thing I noticed which
I can't find documented anywhere ...
>> oformat.setDoctype(null, document.getDoctype().getSystemId());
I modified the line above to say
oformat.setDoctype(null, "file:/c:/temp/new.dtd");
It seems that if the document had no doctyope already defined this works
okay BUT if it does then using the setDoctype does get used (the original
DTD is retained). Can't find any note to this effect in the Javadoc.
Do you know why this is or better still a way to override the existing DTD
with the specified one?
Cheers ... Dave
P.S. I am using XML4J 3.0.1 based on Xerces 1.2.0

Please respond to

setDoctype() does the job !
