Problem with external entities.

[Arindam Chandra]

Hi,     I am encountering some problems in refering external entities from an xml file using Xerces C++ parser version 1.7.0. I am working with Windows NT. The problems are described below,-   In the refered.xml there is an element refered-elem. From the refering.xml I am referring to this element as                                                                                   <pls>&refered-elem;</pls>   and I have declared this entity in testref.dtd (refered.xml refers to this DTD) as                                                                                      <!ENTITY refered-elem SYSTEM "refered.xml"> refered.xml and refering.xml are located under the same directory in the local file system. When I am running the Xerces java parser with these files I'm getting the expected output. But when I run the Xerces C++ parser through SAX2Count.cpp (provided as a sample with the downloaded parser), I am getting the following error,- Fatal Error at file E:\Arindam\CPPTests\xerces-c-src1_7_0\xerces-c-src1_7_0\Build\Win32\VC6\Release\refered.xml, line 2, char 2   Message: Expected comment or CDATA Seems that it can't recognize the document type definition <!DOCTYPE refered-elem SYSTEM "testref1.dtd">. One point to note here is that we really don't need any DTD for refered.xml . If I remove this DOCTYPE line from refered.xml, it works fine with the java parser. But with the C++ parser it gives the following errors,- Error at file E:\Arindam\CPPTests\xerces-c-src1_7_0\xerces-c-src1_7_0\Build\Win32\VC6\Release\refered.xml, line 3, char 15   Message: Unknown element 'refered-elem' Error at file E:\Arindam\CPPTests\xerces-c-src1_7_0\xerces-c-src1_7_0\Build\Win32\VC6\Release\refering.xml, line 17, char 27   Message: Element 'refered-elem' is not valid for content model: '(#PCDATA)' Seems that the parser is looking for a DTD for refered.xml. Any suggestion to solve this will be very much welcome. Thanks and Regards, Arindam Chandra Software Professional Product Dev - R & D Ushacomm India Limited Bangalore Ph: 91-33-2822803 extn-328.
