saw that just now. as per that disco, i put the dtd under the xindice/docs folder and specified a http://localhost:4080/test.dtd in the test.xml document. it works fine.
this raises a question: does xindice really validate xml against a dtd or does it just check that the specified dtd is in a certain folder? thanks very much mark! -nani -----Original Message----- From: Mark J.
