How can I assign an external DTD to a newly created document?

[Bjorn Hermans <bj...@e-cube.nl>]

Hi,

I'm using Xerces to create a new XML document, but I cannot find out how
to assign an external DTD to this new document. From what I can gather
from the documentation of Xerces-C, the first parameter of the
createDocument function looks like the place to put this assignment, but
the URL to the external URL does not show up when I do a
"XML::Xerces::DOMParse::print ..." statement, e.g. I get an output like:
  <!DOCTYPE paymentService PUBLIC '-//Bibit/DTD Bibit PaymentService
v1//EN' > 
(I would expect the URL to the external DTD to show up right after the
identifier...)

Please help!

Regards,
Bjorn Hermans.

Hey Bjorn,

Here's some code pirated from t/domTest.t:


  DB<3> $impl = XML::Xerces::DOM_DOMImplementation::getImplementation();

  DB<4> $dt = eval{$impl->createDocumentType('personnel', '', 'personal.dtd')};

  DB<5> p $dt->serialize
<!DOCTYPE personnel SYSTEM "personal.dtd">

  DB<6> $doc = eval{$impl->createDocument('personnel', 'personnel',$dt)};

  DB<7> p $doc->serialize
<!DOCTYPE personnel SYSTEM "personal.dtd">
<personnel/>

This is the sum total that I know about the issue.

Hope this helps,
jas.
