org.xml.sax.SAXException: External entites are not permitted in XML configuration files

[Helder Pinto <he...@dsi.uminho.pt>]

Hi!

I've been trying to use Pluto since some days ago. I installed it on Tomcat
4.1.27 + JDK 1.4.0. I know I should use JDK 1.3.1, but let me tell you what is
happening...

1. I started with JDK 1.4, and I got that SAXException (see below) in the logs,
when trying to access http://localhost:8008/pluto/portal.
2. I changed to JDK 1.3, and I still got the same exception.
3. I changed again to JDK 1.4, and I installed a newer version (from CVS), on
October 14th. Bravo! I could finally use and explore the "test" portlets! I
thought that was due to a new version of the "portlet.xml" file, which then
contained a good namespace/schema location URL (as said Reid Wakida in Oct
10th).
4. I downloaded the "bookmark" examples from JavaWorld (the recent ZIP file that
Stefan Hepper has posted) and tried to deploy it. It was OK. I added the
references to the new portlet in the pageregistry.xml and
portletentityregistry.xml files. When trying to access the portal, I got again
the same exception.
5. I removed the "bookmark" portlet and its references from the pluto registry
(commenting it), I tried to access again the portal, and I still got that same
exception...

Why is this happening? Can someone explain me?
Thank you for your attention.

Regards,

Helder
