[jdom-interest] jdom and jdk1.4: EntityResolver no longer called

[abrighto at netscape.net]

Hi all,

The new jdk1.4 runtime library now contains the org.xml packages, 
which kind of forces you to use them, it seems (I was previously 
using xerces.jar).

Since upgrading to jdk1.4, I am having problems with DTDs not being
resolved. The problem is that the EntityResolver is not being called.
The error message is then:

 "Relative URI "UIInfo.dtd"; can not be resolved without a base URI"

Here is the related code. Any ideas on how to make this work with jdk1.4?

    /** Parse the XML document */
    private static void _parseDocument(BufferedReader in) {
    SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder(true);
    builder.setEntityResolver(new EntityResolver() {
        public  InputSource resolveEntity (String publicId, String systemId) {
            URL url = Resources.getResource("UIInfo.dtd");
            try {
            return new InputSource(url.openStream());
            } 
            catch(Exception e) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Error resolving entity: " + 
                           publicId + ": " + e.toString());
            }
        }
        });

    try {
        Document doc = builder.build(in); 
        Element rootElement = doc.getRootElement();
        Iterator it = rootElement.getChildren().listIterator();
        while(it.hasNext()) {
        Element e = (Element)it.next();
        _parseElement(e);
        }
    } 
    catch (JDOMException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
        throw new RuntimeException("Error reading " + XML_FILE + ": " + ex.getMessage());
    }
    }

Thanks,
Allan Brighton
