Re: The string "--" is not permitted within comments

[Jeanfrancois Arcand]

Sorry, you are right. That's the dtd file I am reffering to 
(web-app_2_3.dtd). Sorry for the confusion.Still, I strongly 
recommend you try Xerces 2.3 :-). If you look how long it tooks to 
reproduce the problem (OK  I'm was slow on that one :-) ), I'm not sure 
removing the 80 characters in all the DTD will help.

You mentioned below that the file that Xerces is complaining about is 
struts-config.xml, but in the URL you mentioned, you mentioned there 
that the problem is with a DTD that contains more than 80 characters 
in one line.

strust-config.xml is not a DTD ( or were you referring to 
strust-config_1_0.dtd? ) and does not seem to have any lines with more 
than 80 characters.
Or were you referring to web-app_2_3.dtd that comes with struts.jar?

Am I missing something?

The file that produce the error is struts-config.xml, but you cannot 
predict on which file it will crach.

Xerces 2.3.0 works fine for me. You should give it a try (XML Schema 
validation is faster).

I really need to use Xerces 2.2.1 because of the bug fixes for

My question is, does anyone know which XML filein Tomcat ( 4.1.18 )

At least I can then just fix the XML file.

I've read in the mail archives that this bug can be solved using a different
version of Xerces. I've replaced
"jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12/common/endorsed/xercesImpl.jar" with:

xercesImpl.jar (included with Tomcat 4.1.14)
xercesImpl.jar (Xerces 2.0.0)
xercesImpl.jar (Xerces 2.2.0)
xerces.jar (included with Tomcat 4.0.6 = Xerces 1.4.4)

but I always get the same error. I'm sure this is the only xerces library
installed in my system (it's not included in JDK1.3.1).


So, which one to use? 2.1.x? And is that a Xerces issue or Tomcat issue? 
Which one should be upgraded?

Nix.

That's what I did: I replaced the original xercesImpl.jar (version 2.0.1)
with the Xerces 2.0.0 xercesImpl.jar, but I get the same error.

This has been discussed before, suggesting the Xerces included with Tomcat
4.1.14, but it doesn't work for me. As I've said, I've tried:

>>xercesImpl.jar (included with Tomcat 4.1.14)
>>xercesImpl.jar (Xerces 2.0.0)
>>xercesImpl.jar (Xerces 2.2.0)
>>xerces.jar (included with Tomcat 4.0.6 = Xerces 1.4.4)

SEVERE: Parse Fatal Error at line 70 column 9: The string "--" is not permitted within comments.

[Fathi Ben Nasr]

Hello,

I have upgraded from tomcat 4.0.3 on redhat 7.3 and 4.0.4 on mandrake
8.2 to 4.1.10 on both mandrake and redhat using rpms from
jakarta.apache.org

I have reviewed all config files (those under /etc and those under
/var/tomcat4/conf) and adapted them to my systems but  when I try to
start tomcat, I get a delay and then a lot of messages on catalina.out.

Have also checked the mailing list archive before asking but didn't
found a solution.
I am using j2sdk-1.4.0_01-fcs from www.sun.com

Here after  my catalina.out. Can someone help me please ?
