Location of DTD file
A remote client is sending me an XML string. It contains a reference to
a DTD file in the DOCTYPE statement. The file name is unqualified (i.e.
"sometype.dtd") since the client doesn't know where it will exist on the
server.
How can I tell the SAX parser where to go look for the dtd file?
I am using version 1.1 of the parser.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Doug Miller

Doug, register a EntityResolver with the parser prior to calling the
pare method.

Why don't you try to add the doctype statement with url in xml file so that
the parser will take the dtd file and parse the xml file.
hope this makes some sense
Good Luck

Is there a base URI for the remote client? If so, then set
the systemId on the input source that you hand to the parser
so that the parser can figure out the relative path of the
DTD. For example:
Reader reader = new StringReader(XML_STRING);
InputSource source = new InputSource(reader);
source.setSystemId(REMOTE_HOST_URI);
Else, follow Milind's suggestion of using an EntityResolver.
