[jdom-interest] question on JDom document validation. Happy N ew Year

[Feber, Mark]

Thanks in advance for any info (also for JDOM).

As an extension to this question:

	Is there a way to validate against a dtd that exists only in a jar
file on the user's CLASSPATH?

I can validate against a file uri, but I haven't yet figured out how to make
it transparent.  Example:

in a doctype if I specfiy the URI as an path, it works:
<!DOCTYPE XXX SYSTEM "file:/some/path/foo.dtd">

or as ajar url with an  path built in:
<!DOCTYPE XXX SYSTEM "jar:file:/path/to/jarFile.jar!/com/foo/foo.dtd">

But how do you specify the URI for a jar file that just lives somewhere on a
CLASSPATH?  Hopefully, there's an obvious solution I haven't come across
yet.  Thanks,

	mark

Hi,

I read this message and I hava a simple question:

How do I implement JDOM validation with schema (or dtd)?

Any example code will be appreciated.

Thanks

DJ

Yep.

Yep.

A JDOMException.

You'll find Brett's book "Java and XML" to be very enlightening.
