Hi,
Sorry if this is in the archives, but I they aren't available at the moment.
I am using xml files for my configuration files for an application and I do not want to have to set up a webserver to make the DTDs available, but I can't get the doctype reference to work properly. The dtd cannot reference an absolute path - it must reference the current directory. I am using JDOM (beta 8) and the xerces2.4.0 parser
In my XML files I have tried
<!DOCTYPE config SYSTEM "something.dtd">
and got:
Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Relative URI "reportgenerator.dtd"; can not be resolved without
a base URI.

The only wayI can get the dtd to be found is by <!DOCTYPE config SYSTEM "file:///absolute/path/to/some.dtd">
I do not want to use this as it requires changing each dtd as it creates a reliance on a set directory structure, which I do not want.
How do I set the doctype to reference a DTD in the same directory as the xml file without giving an absolute pathname?
Thanks
Chris
