[jdom-interest] DTD information not present in DocType

[Laurent Bihanic]

Hi,

Using the latest JDOM from CVS, I failed to get any information stored into 
DocType. I managed to track this problem down to SAXBuilder that performs the 
following test in configureParser():

         // Try setting the DeclHandler if entity expansion is off
         if (!expand) {
             try {
                 parser.setProperty(
                     "http://xml.org/sax/properties/declaration-handler",
                     contentHandler);
             } catch (SAXNotSupportedException e) {
                 // No lexical reporting available
             } catch (SAXNotRecognizedException e) {
                 // No lexical reporting available
             }
         }

Why is the DeclHandler registration dependent on entity expansion? Is that a 
leftover from the time where DTD information was not stored in DocType?
Removing the test on expand fixes the problem.

Another question: Shouldn't JDOM also attempt to register DeclHandlers using 
the alternate property name "http://xml.org/sax/handlers/DeclHandler" just as 
it does for LexicalHandlers?
