Validator reuse

[Rocky Raccoon <rr...@bigfoot.com>]

I have to parse 2 XML Files both having identical DOCTYPE Declaration.

I tried
parser.parse(file1);
parser.parse(file2,true);

The second one chokes
Fatal Error at (file F:\xerces-c_1_1_0-win32\samples\data\a.xml, line 2,
char 20
): An exception occured! Type:IllegalArgumentException, Message:The
element
personnel already exists

However if I remove the DOCTYPE Declaration from the 2nd file,
everything works fine.
Can be reproduced by modifying the Saxprint example.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong ?

The fix has been checked in. Just for the record.

Rocky, you you didn't mention whether your document had an internal DTD
or not.  If it doesn't, and it doesn't work on the latest code, it would
be a bug in need of fixing.

If you don't want to mess with CVS, current source is available from
http://xml.apache.org/form-cvs/xml-xerces/

I'll take a look at this tonight and see what I can find.

Looks like this is not true any more.  The document cannot have
DOCTYPE at all.

Theoretically, you should be able to have a DOCTYPE and an external subset.
If you use the resuseValidator, its supposed to just ignore the external
subset. You cannot have any internal subset at all, but its supposed to be
able to ignore the external subset (and it was at one point, so I'm not sure
what's wrong now.)

My understanding is this is correct behavior.

It is an error to have a DOCTYPE declaration when you are trying to
reuse the parser.  The validator is already set up for the original
DTD and changing it on the fly would create many problems.

Also - my code depends on this so I can force the use of a single
DTD for all documents I am validating.
