Hi all,

I am trying to write a servlet that receives XML document as Http
response.
Now the problem is that the response xml document has doctype defined
as
<!DOCTYPE myDoc SYSTEM "myDTD.dtd">

and when i try to load the response inputStream in xml Document.
i get an parsing error saying myDTD.dtd could not be found

Can someone pls advice me
-where to keep these DTDs so that the tomcat will be able to find it.
-Is it OK to keep all the DTDs in the TOMCAT_ROOT/bin folder.

Looking for some quick help.

Regards,
Nishant

Written like that, "myDTD.dtd" is relative to the xml-document.
When the document is just in a stream, where to find it?

Replace "myDTD.dtd" with an absolute URL to the DTD should help.

Hi Dag,

Thanks for your response.
This xml document is returned by the server only. I can't change it.
Is there any other way I can solve this issue.

Yes,
Include the DTD in the output XML.
We have done this, merging the generated XML and DTD into
a new XML with XSL.

You can't rely on that directory being the "current" directory.

How about grabbing the entire document to a buffer and snipping
out the offending <!DOCTYPE ..> line?

Hi Peter and Bill,

Thanks for ur response.
I solved the problem by moving the DTDs in a folder with web-access and
now I am passing the url as System Id while parsing the document.

doc =
docBuilderObj.parse(resp.getInputStream(),"http://myServer/myApp/DTD/");

Think this would be easy an approach bcos I wud need these DTDs
again while forming the XML data for Http POST.

let me know ur opinion on this.
