validation against DTD

Dear all,

I would like to use Xerces in order to validate a very simple document against a DTD:

Here's my XML document to be validated:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

<!DOCTYPE CatalogueLivres
   [
   <!ELEMENT CatalogueLivres (#PCDATA,X,Y)>
   <!ELEMENT X EMPTY>
   <!ELEMENT Y EMPTY>
    ]>
   <CatalogueLivres>
   toto
   <X/>
   <Y/>
   </CatalogueLivres>

So, CatalogueLivres is supposed to contain both PCDATA and empty elements X and Y and it seems to be the case...

But during validation, i receive the following error message:

[FATAL Error] CatalogueLivres.xml:5:38: D�claration of element "CatalogueLivres" must contain either a character ')' (??) or an element type.

When i change the doctype so that CatalogueLivres contains only PCDATA or elements, it runs well...

Could someone explain me where I am wrong, please?

Thanks in advance,

Cyril.
