Getting DTD in an output XML file

[Steve Buroff <sj...@lucent.com>]

I have an application where the DTD is distributed. Most of it is in
a separate file but there is some in the DOCTYPE declaration of
the XML file. My problem is in writing out a modified version of the
XML file. I use the OutputFormat.setDoctype() method and this
does give me the DOCTYPE declaration with the correct SYSTEM
value. However, I can't figure out how to get the rest of the DTD, the
part that was in the DOCTYPE declaration in the input XML file,
into the output file.

I'm using xerces 1.1.3 and DOM. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
TIA.

Xerces 1.2.0 version has the dctype features. Using this version you can
create a doctype, using this doctype create the document and set in the
parser before parsing. All the DTD information will be part of your
DOMTree. You can try in the current DOMPrint sample.
