[jdom-interest] need help with local DTD

[jdom-interest at vrolijken.nl]

Hi Paul,

Not quite sure what you mean, but the InputSource is created like this: 
build as
follows:
  // repositoryFileName = repository.xml
  //j2ee compliant lookup of resources
  URL url = ClassHelper.getResource(repositoryFileName);
  String pathName = url.toString();
...
  // pathName is now file:/C:/a/very/long/path/classes/repository.xml
  InputSource source = new InputSource(pathName);

Quoting Paul Libbrecht <paul at activemath.org>:
