Xerces-C and OpenOffice.org: anyone success?

["Michael J. Lanham" <ml...@cise.ufl.edu>]

Hi,

trying to parse the content.xml file from an OpenOffice.org zip archive 
created by openoffice writer program.  keep getting this error
Message: An exception occured! Type:RuntimeException, 
Message:Could not open DTD file 
     '/.automount/netapp0/export/homes02/mlanham/tmp/office.dtd'
An error occured during parsing

has anyone else had success parsing the content.xml file?
how did you do it?

the offending line in the xml file looks like this: 
<!DOCTYPE office:document-content PUBLIC "-//OpenOffice.org//DTD 
OfficeDocument
1.0//EN" "office.dtd"> 


I tried turning validation in Xerces-C off but that did not seem to help

It seems like your system is mapping the openoffice public identifier
to a file that doesn't exist on your system (the
.../mlanham/tmp/office.dtd looks suspicious).

You'll have to remove the whole DOCTYPE. If there's a dtd listed,
xerces *has* to open it.

Otherwise, you can simply put a simlink to the DTD directory in your
working directory and modify the SYSTEM name to match:

  ln -s /path/to/office/dtd/ ~/dtd
  <!DOCTYPE office:document-content SYSTEM "dtd/office.dtd"> 

The OOo DTD is modular, so it includes a lot of other files in the
same directory.
