[jdom-interest] DTD file and validation

[Ligade, Shailesh]

Hello all,

I have a basic question. I could create a xml file using JDOM that is
namespace aware. The problem is that this file is not happy with the dtd i
have generated with xml spy 3.0 when I try to read it with validating
parser.

In other words, xml spy is happy with my dtd but not my parser xcrces (which
I got along with JDOM b4)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
my file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!--DOCTYPE KODetail SYSTEM "http://laestrella/KODetail.dtd"-->
<!DOCTYPE KODetail SYSTEM "c:\ATG\Dynamo4.5.0\projects\jhtml\KODetail.dtd">


<KODetail>
  <iPower:DocID
xmlns:iPower="http://laestrealla/iPower">1000336</iPower:DocID>
  <iPower:Title>Jason - XML</iPower:Title>
</KODetail>

----------------------------------------------------------------------
and my dtd looks like this:

<!ELEMENT KODetail (
iPower:DocID,
iPower:Title
) >

<!ELEMENT iPower:DocID (#PCDATA)  >
<!ATTLIST iPower:DocID xmlns:iPower CDATA #REQUIRED >
<!ELEMENT iPower:Title (#PCDATA)  >

I have even removed attribute line from DocID but no help.

What I am doing wrong? I found very contradicting things regarding how to
construct the DTD,

some messages told me to add namespace prefix as a part of element in DTD
(JAVA and XML book example has this one)
while others asked me to remove that. Also, xmlns, is that a attribute in
DTD or not. I got contradictory views on that one too.

Obviously parsers make lot of difference! SO this question is how to make
the parser 'xcrces' happy?

Thanks in advance.
