Thomas, I think I'm having a similar problem, also through log4j. My external entity is not a well-formed document, which I understand is fine so long as the whole document, after the external entity has been resolved, is well-formed. I get the error message, "The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed."
Did you manage to find a work-around for your problem? Thanks, Howard. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2001 1:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Support of SGML like includes in XML files Hello, I use an XML appender for log4j, it produces one file log-body.xml, this file needs a header file to be valid (log-header.xml) that includes the body.
