specifying an absolute reference to the local file system via URL

Hi -

I saw this awhile back but cannot remember the proper syntax -

i have the following -
<!DOCTYPE CFS SYSTEM "cfs.dtd">

but need it to be 
<!DOCTYPE CFS SYSTEM "file://D:/GFA/cfs.dtd">

I want the URL to reference the local file system ....

this will be a local application running on W2K machines without network 
connectivity.

thanks for any help with this.

Alan, you could write a custom EntityResolver to pick up the entity from
any file you want. This could even look at various config options to
pick up files from where ever - based on the environment.

Alan,

You can implement your own entity resolver to locate the DTD during runtime.
Check out the SAX EntityResolver interface.
