Hello,

I am trying to validate an NSXMLDocument against an external DTD. Here is what I do:

   NSError *error = nil;
        
NSXMLDocument *doc = [[[NSXMLDocument alloc] initWithXMLString:beamedXML options:NSXMLNodeOptionsNone error:&error] autorelease];
    if (!doc) {
        NSLog(@"error: %@", error);
    }
        
        NSXMLElement *root = [doc rootElement];
        //NSLog(@"%@", [root description]);
        
        
        //NSBundle *theBundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
        //NSLog(@"%@", [theBundle description]);
        
NSString *dtdPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"FCPXMLv5" ofType:@"dtd"];
        NSLog(@"dtdPath: %@", dtdPath);
        
        NSURL *dtdUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:dtdPath isDirectory:NO];
        
        error = nil;
NSXMLDTD *theDtd = [[[NSXMLDTD alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:dtdUrl options:NSXMLNodePreserveWhitespace error:&error] autorelease];
        if (!theDtd) {
        NSLog(@"error: %@", error);
    }
        //NSLog(@"theDtd: %@", theDtd);
        
        [doc setDTD:theDtd];
        
        error = nil;
        if (! [doc validateAndReturnError:&error]) {
                NSLog(@"error: %@", error);
        }

And this is what I get:

Error Domain=NSXMLParserErrorDomain Code=1 UserInfo=0xdc17a50 "no DTD found!

It seems to me that the DTD is expected to be found inside the XML document. (The DTD seems to be created alright, since I can log it's description.) In this case that not what I need or want. The Tree- Based XML Programming Guide for Cocoa talks about external DTDs but I can't find a clue as how to do this. Is it even possible?

Thanks,

Rainer
