Re: Using XInclude in tomcat's config files
Pawson, David wrote: Does your parser support xml:base? "My parser"? We're talking about the xerces parser embedded in Tomcat, reading the configuration files for Tomcat and its webapps (not a parser used by an application hosted by Tomcat). If there's any way to control the instantiation or behavior of that parser, I'd like some pointers. Anyway, thanks for the help and suggestions so far. Looks like a bit more research is needed, alas.. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

True; but what would the base path be? You've likely seen all of the posts here concerning "relative paths within a webapp" and "how to determine the webapp's full filesystem path." If a person wants a completely self-contained WAR file they can drop into any Tomcat instance, constructing the various config files at build time is the way to go. -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That makes relative paths work. All in all, entity includes are inflexible and a terrific pain to work with.

Oh, that's what we are doing now, but entity resolution doesn't have a concept of relative paths. I.e. if you have a file called "/path/to/foo.xml", which does an entity include of "file:../somewhere/params.dtd", then the path is not interpreted in relation to its including file (i.e. as "/path/to/../somewhere/params.dtd"), but instead in relation to "$cwd" (i.e. it's literally opened as "../somewhere/params.dtd"). This makes it nearly useless, as you are *forced* to "cd" to "/path/to" before you can process the "foo.xml" file. On the other hand, if you use absolute path names, that makes it difficult to move the files around. All in all, entity includes are inflexible and a terrific pain to work with. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

-Original Message- From: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shankar Unni Sent: 01 October 2004 21:44 Alas, that didn't help. I tried setting both org.xml.sax.parser and org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLParserConfiguration (the latter one being the one described in the Xerces XInclude FAQ at http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j/faq-xinclude.html) on the java command line to "org.apache.xerces.parsers.XIncludeParserConfiguration", but neither seems to have had the least effect. The http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude"/> is completely ignored in my server.xml, and it is as if this directive weren't even present. (The file contains a root element for insertion into the that I've declared in server.xml). Anything else I can try? Try an entity instead of xinclude? Not many parsers are good for xinclude as yet (a mainly uninformed statement). Entity resolution is easier if the parser is setup correctly. I'm not familiar with xinlude, but are you OK to use relative url's in the href attribute? Does it need a file:// protocol?
