[jdom-interest] How to read a DTD as a resource file?

[John L. Webber - jentro AG]

Hi Stepahn,

The easiest way is to have your parser implement
org.xml.sax.EntityResolver, and in the resolveEntity method get your DTD
from the jar file using  getClass().getResourceAsStream(RESOURCE_NAME).
I can send you some sample code if you like.

Regards,

John
