Entity References Support

, ,

Hi,
I have a dtd with a lot of entity references mostly external, isolat1.pen etc…, i get parse errors in conversion process(to tsd3). Are external/internal entites supported ?, if not is there some way to accomodate entities.
regards
Amit

External entities are supported. Please post the parse error.

Thanks for your reply,

The Parse error that i get is

org.xml.SAXParseException: The external entity declaration must begin with either “SYSTEM or PUBLIC”
…


The dtd is attached.

The content of ISOdia.pen is not wellformed. It contains entity declarations like:

but these are not valid. They should look like this:


However the error message of Xerces 1.4 is not very good. With Xerces 2.0.1 its got better:
XSCDCC3003: The parser reported the following critical error: “org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: OpenQuoteMissingInDecl”.
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: OpenQuoteMissingInDecl
XSCDCE3006: The following error occurred during parsing: “org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: OpenQuoteMissingInDecl”.
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: OpenQuoteMissingInDecl

Please note that the entity declarations are not used in the converted schema at all. They are put into the comment.
