[jdom-interest] More Exceptions

[Allen, Aristotle B (Ari)]

When I try to build a validating sax parser I get an exception thrown and
I'm not sure why
Can anyone help me with this one?  I really like JDOM much better than my
other options, but I'm running low on time.

my code:
  SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder(debug);
  Document doc = builder.build(bais);  <-- my exception is thrown here
  Element root = doc.getRootElement();
  String option = root.getChild("ACTION").getAttribute("option").getValue();
<--when I don't validate I get an exception here

Can JDOM handle attributes at this point?  Would I be better off using a
DOMAdapter?

my dtd looks like this:
<!ELEMENT REQUEST ( TIMESTAMP, ACTION, DATABLOCK ) >
  <!ELEMENT TIMESTAMP ( #PCDATA ) >
  <!ELEMENT ACTION ( #PCDATA ) >
  <!ATTLIST ACTION option NMTOKEN #REQUIRED >
  <!ELEMENT DATABLOCK ( PARTID ) >  
    <!ELEMENT PARTID ( PACK_ID, OPERATOR, TESTSET, STATUS, QTY, CODE,
METAL_PACK ) >
    <!ATTLIST PARTID name NMTOKEN #REQUIRED >
      <!ELEMENT PACK_ID ( #PCDATA ) >
      <!ELEMENT OPERATOR ( #PCDATA ) >
      <!ELEMENT TESTSET ( #PCDATA ) >
      <!ELEMENT STATUS ( #PCDATA ) >
      <!ELEMENT QTY ( #PCDATA ) >
      <!ELEMENT CODE ( #PCDATA ) >
      <!ELEMENT METAL_PACK ( #PCDATA ) >

and my input stream consists of this:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE xml SYSTEM
"http://mrc3k.micro.lucent.com/~aballen/CreatePack-w.dtd">	
		
  <REQUEST>
    <TIMESTAMP>2000/10/07 15:14:09</TIMESTAMP>
    <ACTION option="w">CreatePack</ACTION>
    <DATABLOCK>
      <PARTID name="EX1234">
        <PACK_ID>EX1234</PACK_ID>
        <OPERATOR>AA</OPERATOR>
        <TESTSET>ab16355</TESTSET>        
        <STATUS>PASS/AB</STATUS>
        <QTY>50</QTY>
        <CODE>361</CODE>        
        <METAL_PACK>12345678</METAL_PACK>
      </PARTID>
    </DATABLOCK>
  </REQUEST>
