RE: PLEASE HELP: SAX parser errors on validation when ValScheme=Val_Never?????

Yes that is the correct behaviour.
The DTD can contain definitions that are needed even when not validating.

ValScheme=Val_Never?????

Hi all,

I am using the SAX parser and setting validation to Val_Never, yet when I
parse an xml doc that specifies a dtd the parser fails if it cannot find the
dtd!!!

Why is this the case when I am not interested in validating? Surely looking
for the dtd when no validation is required is not correct?

Please help!

Chris

Do it yourself in a EntityResolver. If the DTD does not exist redirect to a
dummy file instead.
I'm not part of the dev team. Just putting my $0.02 in :)

  Asking again. Are you planning to provide a way not to throw an exception
if dtd does not exists ?
  My application strictly requires this. In the previous version (xml4c
2.3.1) I might to catch this exception and continue
  parsing. Now, it became a critical exception.
  I know  that xml rec says that if dtd is reffered but does not exists the
document is invalid.
  But no one prevent you, to keep this by default, and provide an additional
feature, to break this.
  (it may be a method, additional parameter or just #define variable)

  Thanks for your cooperation.
