[jdom-interest] verify document with JDom?

[GB/DEV - Philip Nelson]

neither of these docs is complete, but I would try removing the file:// part
or the url, put it in the same directory as the xml and run it like that.  I
would have tried it here but you didn't send complete documents.
 
Really, this is not a JDOM issue btw, it is (probably) a Xerces issue for
you.
 
good luck.

If I try this code without validation it works fine, if I turn on validation
then it hangs.  If I give a bogus URL for the DTD then it throws an
exception.  Given this I think my environment should be OK. 
 
Any ideas on why it would just hang? 
 
Thx

actually, this code works just fine.  I caught an invalid xml (do dtd) and
worked with xml with a valid dtd.  It must be a setup issue.  As usual,
check your classpath, file path etc. and of course the dreaded "xml parsers
in the jre/lib/ext" directory

I'm giving that a shot, the problem is that it is hanging when I try to
instantiate a SAXBuilder.  Any idea why it would hang?  This program below
will never exit.


import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import org.jdom.*;
import org.jdom.input.*;
import org.jdom.output.*;
 

public class XMLVerify{
 public static void main(String args[]){
  String fileName = "/home/peterb/Gateway/creditscoreRequest.xml";
  Document xmlDoc = buildDoc(fileName);
 }
 
 public static Document buildDoc(String fileName){
  try{
   // Build the document with SAX and Xerces, with validation
   SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder(true);
   // create and return the document
   return builder.build(new File(fileName));
  }catch(Exception e){
   e.printStackTrace();
   return null;
  }
 }
}

When you parse the document, you can have the parser validate against the
DTD.  There is not however a method to validate a JDOM Document instance
against a DTD so just use the validate flag on your builder and you will
know you have a valid document coming in.
