Hi all, we are fiddling with the idea of implementing a syntax-aware DTD editor on top of an XML parser, using Java. There must be some native API methods for, say, Apache Crimson or Apache Xerces that receive and process an external DTD subset, and report any errors using SAX Exceptions. Any hints for finding and using such methods would be appreciated. As far as we know, JAXP does not support the validation of DTDs directly. Our original idea was to wrap the DTD inside the prolog of a dummy document instance. The problem with this approach is that this way we would pass the declarations to the parser as an /internal/ DTD subset, which has different restrictions on the use of parameter entities than an external subset. Thanks, Mikko Saesmaa
