Alternative location for DTDs

[Lajos Moczar <lm...@galatea.com>]

Hi all -

This problem is driving me crazy. I have a bunch of xml files to process 
with Xalan, each in a separate dirctory. All the XMLs have a DTD 
declaration like this:

<!DOCTYPE FRUID_XML_Tree SYSTEM "mydoc.dtd">

The problem is that I don't want to have to copy mydoc.dtd into each 
directory. Ideally, I'd like to ignore the DTD declaration, but 
alternatively I need to at least be able to tell Xalan to look for the 
dtd in a different directory (like the directory where the xsl file is). 
Originally, I thought that I could use a custom URIResolver for this, 
but it appears that the URIResolver is not called to resolve DTD locations.

Can anyone suggest anything? I have this problem with serveral different 
applications and I'm at a loss as to what to do.

Regards,

Lajos
