[jdom-interest] org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Relative URI "office.dtd"; can not be resolved without a base URI.

[Hemanth Raju]

Hi all,

	I am using the DOMBuilder to build a Document Object from an XML file which
is generated from OpenOffice ".sxw" file (content.xml). I has JBuilder6
running with both 1.3.1 and 1.4.0 JDK's.

	Whenever I am tring to build the Document Object from the XML file using
the DOMBuilder or SAXBuilder its throwing a SAXParseException.

My code is as follows:

	DOMBuilder domBuilder = new DOMBuilder();
	Document doc = domBuilder.build(new
URL("file:///d:/XMLTest/xml/content.xml"));
	System.out.println("Root Element = " + doc.getRootElement().getName());

and the exception is as follows:

Root cause: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Relative URI "office.dtd"; can
not be resolved without a base URI. at

I need to resolve this really fast. Anyhelp on this is very much
appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Will be looking forward.
