[jdom-interest] Re: Finding the DTD

[Aidan Killian]

Hi,

	I have a slightly more complex version of this problem.
Typically I recieve XML files with the following DOCTYPE 
statement:

<!DOCTYPE FpML PUBLIC "-//FpML//DTD Financial product Markup Language
(1-0))//EN">

	A System Identifier string ("FpML-1.0.dtd") may follow the public
identifier. This is quite a common situation in the SGML world that is
addressed by the Oasis Open Catalog standard.

	When using Xerces I use the EntityResolver interface:

public class Catalog implements EntityResolver 
{
	public InputSource resolveEntity (String publicId, String systemId)
	{
		// ...

		return new InputSource(new FileReader(DTDpath));
	}
}

	I do not believe the build(InputStream, String) method solves 
this problem. (B.T.W. I only know how to implement this in Xerces and
XML4J 1.x; I am not sure if other parsers even support entity mapping).

	Great work; I really like JDOM.

Best regards,
