Error opening external DTD 'book.dtd'

I know this may be something simple, but can't get it to work. I have a local (on my local network) dtd file that I'm trying to use for validation on my xml file.
My first two lines in the xml are:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE book SYSTEM "D:\tmp\book.dtd">
When trying to parse it in Java, I get the exception thrown of:
Error opening external DTD 'book.dtd'.
I checked, and the file has full permissions for read and write, and it is in the directory specified.
How can I use an external dtd file on my local network for my DTD validation?
Thanks in advance!

Try using PUBLIC instead of SYSTEM.

Error opening external DTD 'Segnatura.dtd' using dbms_xmlsave.insertXML

I've been trying to insert a document in a table. All works fine
if the xml doesn't contains the doctype element!
If I add the row
<!DOCTYPE Segnatura SYSTEM "Segnatura.dtd">
to my xml I get the error:
oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Error opening external DTD
'Segnatura.dtd'.
If I specify all the path "file:///temp/Segnatura.dtd" the insert
works, but I don't want to do in that way beacause I don't want
to modify the original xml that i'm inserting!
In the package dbms_xmlsave I have no ways to change the
basedir/baseurl
or to setValidationMode to false like in xmlparser package.
Is there any way to solve this problem??
Thank's in advance
Mauro
This is an example scratch of my xml doc:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'ISO-8859-1'?>
<!DOCTYPE Segnatura SYSTEM "Segnatura.dtd">
<Segnatura versione="2001-05-07"
xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" xml:lang="it">
</Segnatura>

Hy Steven, thank's for your attention.
I'm not using the xsql servlet.
I'm reading an xml file coming from the file system and I want to
import it in the db using a java stored proc.
I also have the dtd file (Segnatura.dtd) but I don't know where
to put in on the server.
If I run my java program and I put Segnatura.dtd in the execution
classpath on the program the xml is loaded fine.
If I load the stored proc in the db then I don't know where to
put the dtd. Do I have to put the directory containing the dtd in
the server classpath and the restart the db maibe?
thank's
mauro

Error opening external DTD

I get the error above when doing the following
import oracle.xml.parser.v2.DOMParser;
public class testXML

I do not know how do you pass the JDK compiler.Typos in the transcription process. I was more interested in showing my approach rather than precise code (apologies).
Actual code below - less 2 methods I have not changed.

ORA-20100: Error occurred while parsing:Error opening external DTD ( Asap)

Hi I'm using domsample example. And I have written the program. The xml file at the starting has this string"<!DOCTYPE MobileInventoryResponse SYSTEM "MobileInventoryResponse.dtd">", from which I'm getting error -"ORA-20100: Error occurred while parsing: Error opening external DTD".
I'm new to xml could you please help me to solve this problem. I assume this is related to DTD for which I need to set base path. But I'm not sure how to do it? I'm getting this xml file through CLOB which I'm able to parse until an extent. where in between got this error.
Here is my partial code:
l_doc_id := rec_xml_data.id;
l_xml_parser := xmlparser.newParser;
xmlparser.setValidationMode(l_xml_parser, FALSE);
xmlparser.parseCLOB(l_xml_parser,rec_xml_data.l_xml_data);--PARSING THE CLOB WHICH CONTAINS XML FILE
l_xml_doc := xmlparser.getDocument(l_xml_parser);
xmlparser.freeParser(l_xml_parser);
l_nodelist := xmldom.getElementsByTagName(l_xml_doc, '*');
l_length := xmldom.getLength(l_nodelist);
-- loop through elements
FOR l_rec_xml in 0..l_length-1
LOOP
l_node := xmldom.item(l_nodelist, l_rec_xml);
-- dbms_output.put(xmldom.getNodeName(n) || ' ');
-- get the text node associated with the element node
l_nodename:=xmldom.getNodeName(l_node);
l_node := xmldom.getFirstChild(l_node);
IF (xmldom.isNull(l_node) = false) THEN
IF xmldom.getNodeType(l_node) = xmldom.TEXT_NODE THEN
IF l_nodename = 'purchase-order-number' THEN
l_po_num:=NULL;
l_po_num:= xmldom.getNodeValue(l_node);
-- dbms_output.put_line('Purchaser Order Num : '||l_po_num);
END IF;
from here onwards I get the string values
Now I don't know where to set the DTD basepath or baseurl. I need it asap.
Regards,
Naveen.

The version which I'm working on is 10.2.0.4.

Unable to open external list : Error : Unable to render the data. If the problem persists, contact your web server administrator.

Hi,
Please note we are using SQL Server 2008 for sharepoint. Does it matter for this issue?
Please help.
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to open external list.
Please change the External Content’s connection properties’ Authentication Mode to BDC identity.
Then launch the SharePoint 2013 Management Shell and run the PowerShell commands to remove the error.

What is the best way to copy aperture library on to external hard drive? I am getting a message that say's "There was an error opening the database. The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported".

What is the best way to copy aperture library on to external hard drive? I am getting a message that say's "There was an error opening the database. The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported". What does that mean? I am trying to drag libraries (with metadata) to external HD...wondering what the best way to do that is?

Hi Shane. Not much in the way of thoughts - - but fwiw:
How is the drive attached?
Can you open large files on the drive with other programs?
Are you running any drive compression or acceleration programs (some drives arrive with these installed)?
Can you reformat the drive and try again?
Hi Kirby,
I attached the UltraMax Plus with a USB cable. The UltraMax powers the cable so power is not an issue. I can open other files. Also, there is 500GB of files on the drive so I cannot re-format it. Although, I noted I could import the entire Aperture Library. However, I do not want to create a duplicate on my machine because that would be defeating the purpose of the external drive.
Thanks,

Flash cs4 mac - Error opening URL '/:Users:someting.swf' - Not a "loading external content" problem

Hello.
I am having a weird problem when trying to test a movie or publish preview -> flash on mac with Leopard os.
The result is a blank movie with the usuall "movie not loaded" if u right click on it and the output returns the "Error opening URL 'the path of the swf here'.
This has nothing to do with loading external files or something like that. It happens even in blank movies and it gives the same error if I try to open a swf from flash ide.
I can publish the project or export the movie with no problem at all.
I can preview the movie in html. I can run all the swf files in my hard disk, network, usb stick, dvd etc., but when I try to open any of these files from flash ide I got that stupid error.
Its not something that stops me from working in flash ide but its slow to export movie any time I want to test it.
Things that I've tried so far but nothing worked:
Update the flash cs4 to the latest version
Update the flash players
Restored the release flash player as default player (I am using as default the debug player)
Cleared the preferences
Move the flash cs4 folder to another location in hd
Saved the fla document first before testing the movie (in different places with or without spaces in document name or folder)
Give read & write permissions for everyone for flash.app, players and for fla files when saved first before test movie
Unistall and install the application 3-4 times.
Test every as version just in case.
Also I've checked the folders when testing movie and I can see that it creates an swf file, which I can run it outside flash ide (the one that the flash ide player cannot load) with no problem.
The mac os has the default set up as it came. Nothing chnaged in permissions or security settings.
Thanx in advance.

In this particular example I am using this code to start the
xml file load:
// now load the XML file that contains the content strings
var sXMLFile:String = "xml/home.xml";
var xmlContent:XML = new XML();
xmlContent.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlContent.onLoad = onXMLLoadComplete;
xmlContent.load( sXMLFile );
But I don’t think the code is the problem here . This
happens on every file I load when I am using a relative path to the
content, regardless of how I load the content (XML object,
loadMovie, MovieClipLoader, etc…) and the same code executes
perfectly on every other machine in the office(Mac and PC).
I’m more concerned with the semi-colons and .swf filename
that Flash is putting into my relative path on the error message.
Is that normal?

Hi Shreya,
That answer seems to work in purchased books but in my case I dont know who is the ebook provider in lebrary. I asked library people and they did not give me any contact to reset the activation. I will try again to find out that contact. I was wondering if there is any way at our side so we can fix this. Probably there is nothing. Thanks anyway.

Link error: Failed to open external module

Newbie question #2... I'm in chapter 5 of the tutorial, just added the button to calculate min and max values of the sinewave. I get two link errors when I try to run the program.
2 Project link errors:
Failed to open external module
Failed to open external module
If I comment out the MaxMin1D function and fudge the min and max values the program runs.
Any ideas?
The function I added is as follows which appears to be identical to the sample in the tutorial.
int CVICALLBACK FindMaxMin (int panel, int control, int event,
       void *callbackData, int eventData1, int eventData2)
   ssize_t min_index;
   double min;
   ssize_t max_index;
   double max;
//   max = 5;
//   min = 3;
   switch (event)
       case EVENT_COMMIT:
           MaxMin1D(sine, 100, &max, &max_index, &min, &min_index);
           SetCtrlVal(panelHandle, PANEL_MAX, max);
           SetCtrlVal(panelHandle, PANEL_MIN, min);
           break;
       case EVENT_RIGHT_CLICK:
           break;
   return 0;

I searched for analysis.h, found it and copied it to the same folder as sample1.c and the program now links and runs.
I'm wondering if I'm missing something in the configuration (not smart enough to know where to search)???
Thanks

Users with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (Windows XP) are not able to open PDFs created on the server. They receive the error message:

Even if the users save to disk and try to re-open, the error still occurs.

So, I'm not sure how much this will help but if you save the pdf AHW_Test_05112009xx.pdf and open it in a text editor, and go all the way down to the bottom where the %%EOF marker is, it looks as if the html page is getting appended to the end of the pdf. I recieved the "This file was damaged..." error in Adobe 7.1.0 when trying to open it but if you remove the html at the end, it opens up just fine.
It appears that whatever's appending the html to the end is causing the issue.
Below is what the file looks like near the end after the EOF:

Error on External Serrvice Configuration Page NW 20047s SP10

Hi All,
I am working on CAF developement. I was trying to develop an CAF application using External Service. I used SAP ECC 5.0 server to import a RFC functional module. It was successfully imported in NWDS. Also it got successfully deployed on the Server NW2004s SP10. But when i opened external service configuration page -> service registery it gave me a null pointer exception.
To solve the problem, i removed the RFC functional module from NWDS and
re-deployed the same application, but the error is still there.
One solution i got is to undeploy the application from the server. After doing this I was able to get the External service configuration page -> service registery without any error. BUT WHEN I DEPLOY THE SAME APPLICATION REMOVING THE RFC THE ERROR IS COMMING AGAIN.
I think there must be some entry on the server which stores the External services imported on the NW 2004s server.
Please Help. ITS VERY URGENT
thanks in advance,
Regards,
Sheetal

"There was an error opening the database for the library "~/Pictures/Apert"

Hey everyone,
There's already another discussion thread about this at the link below, but the problem was never actually resolved. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2343014&tstart=0&messageID=116 67261#11667261
So I stumbled across this problem where Aperture 3 will display the following error when opening the image library.
There was an error opening the database for the library “~[path]/Aperture Library.aplibrary”.
One user suggested navigating to the actual library, and ⌘⌥-clicking the library to open it with the Aperture Library First Aid dialog. This however, did not work for me. I still received the error messages upon ⌘⌥-clicking the library.
Here's a little hack I discovered for those of you still struggling. It doesn't fix the problem (leaves quite a large dent remaining actually), but hopefully someone can cultivate what little I discovered.
⌥-click Aperture (not the library)
You should get to the library selection dialog box. Create a new library (bottom right corner) and remember the location of the new library. Put a few random pictures in the new one.
Close Aperture
⌃-click both the old and new libraries and "Show Package Contents."
Open the folder "Database" in both libraries.
Cross check the folders to see if the old library is missing files that are in the new library. If your old library is missing some files (mine was), drag the missing files from the new library to the old one.
Close both folders.
⌘⌥-click the old library.
NOW, I got the Aperture Library First Aid dialog.
Rebuild the library (3rd option)
Wait a while.
Aperture should open up with a folder named "Recovered Folder." Within this folder will be a SINGLE project named "Recovered Project" with ALL the images from your old library. There may be a few albums there too, but mine were all empty so it didn't matter in my case. To my knowledge, I lost all the adjustments I performed too.
This is as far as I got. I have much of my library backed up, so I only needed to copy the most recent photos into the backup. I am NOT reorganizing and re-editing pictures in this one!
As Aperture is a photo-organizing and photo-editing software, I understand that this by no means fixes the problem, since you lose all organization and editing. But it enables one to at least view the images lost. Hopefully a more knowledgable hacker else can figure out how to fix this completely. Unfortunately, I simply don't have the time to continue messing with this.
Good luck to anyone else having issues! I understand the frustration you must be facing, its freaky having years worth of images simply disappear! After this incident, I'm definitely going to configure Time Machine to perform more frequent backups, since my latest backup was already a couple weeks old.

Hey All,
To my horror I have a similar problem and your solution didn't seem to help. To be specific, I get the error:
"There was an error opening the database for the library “~/Pictures/Aperture Library_2.aplibrary" Everytime I try to run Aperture. This happened because my Apple computer shut off completely (due to bad battery) while importing photos from a memory card.
I've tried "option + command" while clicking the aperture application and that gave me the same error message without any other option except to quit the program. I tried "option + command" and clicked the library package but that didn't work either. I tried creating a new aperture library, opening it which I did successfully, and then switching to my main one but that didn't work.
Does anyone know away to get it to work again and have the edits still there?
I'm a professional photographer and have thousands of photos or so in the library so this is distressing. The master files for the photos are located on an external hard drive, but I'm not sure how to access them in aperture. Are all the edits on the photographs are in the external hard drive or the aperture library. Is there any other way to resolve this issue without losing the edits?
Does apple have a support number I can call? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
