How to read entities in an external DTD?
Hi All,
I have an Xml application whose documents reference an external dtd for
parsing through the DOCTYPE node. I will like to read values within the
entities in the dtd either through the SAX API or DOM. How do I do that? Any
help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Eyumotu
Extract from dtd:
<!ELEMENT PXapi (request | response) >
<!ATTLIST PXapi apiver CDATA #FIXED "1.1" >
<!-- parameter entities -->
<!ENTITY % valid_fcn "(AVG | SUM | MAX | MIN)" -->
<!ENTITY % valid_order "(ASC | DESC)" >
......................................
......................................
<!-- end of PXapi DTD -->

The DOM information is not sufficient, and SAX doesn't pass all of that info
out either, though the new SAX2 passes out more than the original SAX. The
ultimate source, though it is non-standard, are the internal validator
enumeration APIs. See the EnumVal sample for how to use them. Just beware
that these are internal APIs and could change and certainly won't exist on
another parser in this form.
