Hello, i have tried to implement this szenario: a dtd using another dtd which is referenced by a parameter entity.
Ok, perhaps its better to create a simple example: 1. document.dtd: <!ENTITY % prolog SYSTEM "prolog.dtd"> &header; <!ENTITY % main SYSTEM "main.dtd"> &main; <!ELEMENT document (prolog, main); 2. prolog.dtd: <!ELEMENT prolog (#PCDATA)> 3. main.dtd <!ELEMENT main (#PCDATA)> 4. example.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE document SYSTEM "document.dtd"> <document> <prolog>text</prolog> <main>text</main> </document> This is a very short example, but demonstrate what i mean. If you want to validate example.xml you get following error: [Fatal Error] descriptionfile.dtd:5:1: The markup declarations contained or pointed to by the document type declaration must be well-formed. org.xml.sax.SAXException: Stopping after fatal error: The markup declarations contained or pointed to by the document type declaration must be well-formed. at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLParser.reportError(XMLParser.java:1228) at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLDTDScanner.reportFatalXMLError(XMLDTDScanner.java:651) at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLDTDScanner.scanDecls(XMLDTDScanner.java:1524) at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLDocumentScanner.scanDoctypeDecl(XMLDocumentScanner.java:2203) at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLDocumentScanner.access$000(XMLDocumentScanner.java:86) at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLDocumentScanner$PrologDispatcher.dispatch(XMLDocumentScanner.java:887) at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLDocumentScanner.parseSome(XMLDocumentScanner.java:381) at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLParser.parse(XMLParser.java:1081) at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLParser.parse(XMLParser.java:1122) at sax.SAXCount.print(SAXCount.java:158) at sax.SAXCount.main(SAXCount.java:392) Has anybody a idea whats wrong? I use Xerces 1.4.1 - and theoretical it must be possible to split a dtd. -- * Homepage: www.webis-world.de * mailto : [EMAIL PROTECTED] * ICQ : #57313947 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
