DOCTYPE Path
The following is a message I posted to the JDOM interest group. I was
redirected here
by Jason Hunter.
I've noticed JDOM / Xerces does not parse relative paths well when building
(SAXBuilder) the
DOCTYPE of a document: the url, file:///... will work fine assuming that
the JVM
started from the same drive on your computer, however, file://c:/... won't
work,
and neither will relative paths like "../../somedtd.dtd". This becomes a
burden
when the number of xml files increase and absolute paths must be used!
It becomes a huge burden when you are developing an entire web-site
application based on
hundreds of these files which must be installed in different environments.
I've noticed the same problem with the xsl-stylesheet processing instruction
in xalan. Has anyone
encountered this problem? are there any workarounds? is my understanding of
this
subject correct?
