Problems with ejbjar and dtd's

[Cory Adams <co...@allogis.com>]

This is a strange one that I have seen Conor address on the mailing list but
i'm not sure what the resolution was.

I am compiling ejbs using Ant 1.4/WL 5.1 SP8 (NT on dev Solaris on Prod and
same happens on both) and am behind a firewall.  Further I am using the dtd
publicId tags:

<dtd publicId="-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Enterprise JavaBeans 1.1//EN"
   location="${project.home}/dtd/ejb-jar_1_1.dtd"/>
<dtd publicId="-//BEA Systems, Inc.//DTD WebLogic 5.1.0 EJB RDBMS
Persistence//EN"
   location="${project.home}/dtd/weblogic-rdbms-persistence.dtd"/>
<dtd publicId="-//BEA Systems, Inc.//DTD WebLogic 5.1.0 EJB//EN"
   location="${project.home}/dtd/weblogic-ejb-jar.dtd"/>

I receive an "Unrecognized publicId...." exception but it can find the file!
I know this because if I change the file by adding say .fff to the filename
I receive the "Could not resolve ..... to a local entity" exception so I am
assuming it finds the local dtd file.

I have also checked the publicIds in my deployment descriptors to ensure
that the names match exactly.

BTW I have tried using Ant 1.3 and a few 1.4 betas with the same results.

Here is the error that I receive:
