DOM header: how to skip writing the standalone property in the header (Schema validation)

[Joep De Vocht <Jo...@brion.com>]

Dear all,

I'm using xercesc createDocument and serializer to create and write an XML document that is meant to be parsed using a schema for validation.

I'm using (sorry for the layout):
adel_impl_module = DOMImplementationRegistry::getDOMImplementation(XMLString::transcode("Core"));
adel_module_doc = adel_impl_module->createDocument(     XMLString::transcode("http://www.asml.com/XMLSchema/MT/Generic/ADELcalibrationModuleLayout/v1.0
        xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\"
        xsi:schemaLocation=\"http://www.asml.com/XMLSchema/MT/Generic/ADELcalibrationModuleLayout/v1.0  ADELcalibrationModuleLayout_PKNE.xsd"),
        XMLString::transcode("ADELcalibrationModuleLayout:ModuleLayout"), 0);
adel_module_doc->setEncoding(X("UTF-8"));
adel_module_doc->setVersion(X("1.0"));

This creates a document with header
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>

I've been told that:
"please don't use the 'standalone' declaration. It is only usefull when DTD's are used. We don't use DTD but XML-schema (XSD). Some parsers even get confused (even crash) when using this declaration."

How do I force DOM to NOT write the "standalone" property in the header.
Can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere.

Kind Regards,

Joep.

I don't think you can instruct Xerces-C++ not to write the standalone
attribute in the XML declaration. What you can do, is disable the
XML declaration altogether. If needed, you can then output it
yourself without the standalone attribute.

These parsers are not XML parsers so (or are buggy XML parsers).

Xerces-C++ has no such feature.

Good luck!
