Disabling dtd validation

I know it sounds odd.. but I need my appserver to run offline. basically I am creating a stand alone server and application installation that one of our marketing guys can take on the road on a laptop and demo to people where there is no internet.
you know.. localhost style ;-)
One problem.. when there is no internet, DTD validation for sun and oracle wesite DTDs all fail. Removing all dtd references or making them local would take as long as it would take me to write a script to do it... I am hoping there is just a setting in the application server that I can set to disable dtd validation. The whole app is done being developed.. I don't need my xml validated anymore! I need to be able to run without the intarwebnets!
please help!

Haven't worked with this but possibly this method of "deactivation" is not valid in 11gR2? Have you cross checked that with Oracle support?

How to disable XML´s DTD validation in Weblogic10?

Hello folks, we are trying to upgrade our server to Weblogic10, but it´s XML parser is validating XML´s DTD and ´cause we are behind a firewall we receive a error like:
Tried all: ´6´ address, but could not connect over HTTP to server: 'www.w3.org', port: '80'
Does anyone here known how to disable DTD validation in WL10?
Regards,
lottalava

Well you can create non validating parser programatically .
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs100/xml/programming.html#wp1069856
i.e.
SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
spf.setValidating(false);
Hope this helps.

How to disable xml validation

I'm trying to write an SVG parser using Xerces. The problem is that when the SVG file contains the doctype tag <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd">my program throws the following exception:
java.net.UnknownHostException: www.w3.org
        at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(PlainSocketImpl.java:177)
        at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:507)
        at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:457)
etc.If I remove <!DOCTYPE> tag, it works fine. According to what I read here, it's necessary to disable XML validation. The Xerces API documentation says that there is a method setValidation() in org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLParser but I can't locate it. Moreover, I don't see any org.apache.xerces.framework package in Xerces supplied with NetBeans 5.0 nor in Xerces 2.8.0 downloaded from apache.org (the XMLParser class available to me is located in org.apache.xerces.parsers).
My question is simple:
How to disable XML validation if the setValidation() method is not avaliable
OR
how to make the setValidation method available to my program?
I'm really confused :(
Here is the code:
package svgviewer;
import java.io.File;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
import org.w3c.dom.traversal.*;
import org.apache.xerces.parsers.*;
public class SVGFileParser {
    public void parse(String filename) throws Exception {
        File file = new File(filename);
        DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
        parser.parse(file.toURL().toString()); //exception is thrown if doctype tag is present in the svg file

You're solving the wrong problem here. Turning off validation won't help, because DTDs don't only do validation. Even non-validating parsers have to read the DTD in case it contains entity definitions, for example.
If you want to stop the parser from looking for the DTD then you write a EntityResolver and apply it to the parser. The EntityResolver should be just like the one in the example in the API docs except it should return new InputSource(new StringReader("")).

Ejb-jar.xml DTD validation error?

I am attempting to deploy a JAR on App Server 8 PE. The application does not contain any EJBs but I understand that the ejb-jar.xml descriptor is still needed. I am running the app server on Windows XP.
My issue is as follows:
I understand that the root element for the ejb-jar.xml file (<ejb-jar>) is required. Since I have no EJBs, I should be able to leave this root element blank (as I have in previoius successful deployments to earlier versions of Sun App Server). When I attempt to deploy, I receive the following DTD Validation error via the admin console:
The content of element type "ejb-jar" is incomplete, it must match "(description?,display-name?,small-icon?,large-icon?,enterprise-beans,relationships?,assembly-descriptor?,ejb-client-jar?)".
Am I missing something?
My ejb-jar.xml file looks like:
<!DOCTYPE ejb-jar PUBLIC
     "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Enterprise JavaBeans 2.0//EN"
     "http://java.sun.com/dtd/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd">

Many thanks in advance to any assistance...

Weblogic 9.2 JDk 1.5 DTD Validation

Hi
We are using xerces parser and doing DTD Validation .
We want to have all the DTD present in the local directory
C:/temp( as reading from the WAR is a performance hit)
When we try to run with Weblogic 8.1 ( with JDK1.4 and JDK1.5 ) the xml is being parsed properly and validated with DTD without any errors
But when we are trying to Validate the DTD with Weblogic 9.2 and JDK 1.5 it gives the error
C:/temp/a.dtd not found even though the DTD is present in that location .
Is there a settiing in Weblogic 9.2 which needs to be set for it to read local file system files?
Thanks
Sachin

weblogic 9.2 uses jdk 1.5_04 if i recall correctly.

DOM Parser Configuration...how to switch off DTD validation?

Hi all,
I am developing some implementation code in Java using JBuilder2005, in which DOM3 parser is also being utilised. Now the question is how to switch off DTD validation (seems its default mode is 'on') so that no validation will be carried out at all even DTD declaration statement is presented in an input XML document?
Many thanks in advance
Frank

First of all, thank you so much for responding, DrClap. =)
setValidating(false) of the DocumentBuilderFactory instance, factory, does not work as expected; it still stubbornly try to seek the external DTD file and fires 'IOException' error in case of no such a DTD.
To follow up the EntityResolver approach, I searched online for almost the whole afternoon but still could not figure out how to do it exactly. In particular, I found http://www.jdom.org/docs/faq.html#a0350, which tells a way doing it, but I got 'StringBufferInputStream is deprecated' error. Then I changed to
new InputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream("".getBytes()))adapted from http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=572919&messageID=2842185. But another error occurs: 'java.io.InputStream is abstract; cannot be instantiated'. Furthermore, I have looked at many docs(tutorials, APIs...) on parser configuration, usage of EntityResolver/setEntityResolver()...but they turned out not helpful. Could you please give out more details on how to do this using EntityResolver?? Many many thanks...

How to disable the validity of a particular Role for 100 users, in a single

Hi
How to disable the validity of a particular Role
which is assigned to 100 users. (disabling the role of change the validity of the role )
at present am doing manually, by entering into each user and changing the validity of the role
Thanks.

> How to disable the validity of a particular Role for 100 users, in a single ...
... shot?
Assign a reference user to the 100+ users and create events in the factory calendar which assigns and removes the role from the reference user only.
The downside is that it is not scalable for many of the same concepts at the same time, because a dialog user can at one logon time only have one reference user assigned to them.
Cheers,
Julius

Message Mapping - Turn Off dtd validation

Hi,
I would like to know how to turn off dtd validation in a message map.
The source message type is based on dtd. When testing, I get the following error
java.io.IOException: Failed to load resource from the context classloader of the current thread! Loading from classloader was caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: D:\usr\sap\XYZ\DVEBMGS01\j2ee\cluster\server0\abc.dtd (The system cannot find the file specified)
I understand that the map requires the dtd to be present in the application folder. But, can I change some setting not to look up this file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE MessageContainer SYSTEM "abc.dtd">

Sorry Arvind. Not able to understand your question.
The problem we are facing is, when the input xml file contains DocType declaration with reference to a dtd, we get an error stating the dtd is not found in the j2ee application folder.
It works fine if the dtd is saved in the location. Also, it works fine if the DocType declaration is removed from the xml file. However, we are exploring an option where declaration is used but dtd is not available.
Is there any way to achieve this?
Thanks!

How to disable field validation when block is in query mode ?

Hi,
we use Jdev 11g TP3 and implemented a button to set a block of input fields in query mode.
Some of this fields are mandatory.
When performing an execute operation this mandatory fields are validated and the JS error message pops up.
In query mode this fields must not be mandatory !
How to disable the validation of those mandatory fields when the block are in query mode?
BR
Peter

Hello Peter,
A little correction to Chris' suggestion, it should be:
<af:inputText value="#{bindings.<your field name>.inputValue}"
label="#{bindings.<your field name>.hints.label}"
required="#{!bindings.<your iterator name>Iterator.findMode && bindings.<your field name>.hints.mandatory}">
...etc...The only difference is the removal of the ? : operator since it isn't required and represents both an additional parsing and processing effort. Go micro-optimization!

Turn off DTD validation

I am using the Xerces DOMParser that ships with WebLogic 6.0 (sp1). Does
anyone know how to turn of DTD validation when parsing a file?
Thanks in advance.

in SAX it's the setFeature() method. I assume there's something similar for
DOM because the Xerces DOM "parser" sits on top of SAX

Disable Column validation in editform.aspx page

I want to temporarily disable column validation in editform of custom list. For example i have column 'age' with column validation =[age]>18 , but I want to allow user to enter any value only in editform.aspx .
Thanks, Saravanan PRS

Option #1. You may remove those validations from list settings
temporarily.
Option #2. Remove list setting validations and apply all validations through javascript or jquery. You
can have a flag to disable or enable. This way you get a flexibility to ON/OFF validations.

ADF Faces: Dynamically enabling / disabling client validation

Hi Frank,
Im using JDeveloper 11.1.1.2.0 version. I want to disable the client side validation for some condition. I have read related information from Frank blog .
But In that frank used adf-faces-config.xml file for the following configuration.
<adf-faces-config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/view/faces/config">
<skin-family>oracle</skin-family>
<client-validation-disabled>true</client-validation-disabled>
</adf-faces-config>
But in my application, I could not find adf-faces-config.xml file. I dont know where to configure please provide me the information.
Regards,
Felix

Hi,
in JDeveloper 11g this no longer is an option. To disable client validation you set immediate=true on the UI component, which youalso can do dynamically. Howerver, ensure you refresh the component after changing the immediate property state.

Disable EDI validations in BizTalk 2009

Hi,
I have a requirement to disable EDI validations in BizTalk 2009. The requirement is to capture and store the XML messages that will be used to render the CMS1500 or UB04 claim forms later on. I was thinking to have a very basic pipeline with EDI Disassembler,
turn off the validation properties and a send port that subscribes to the XML message generated by the receive pipeline. Since the TP agreement takes precedence over the EDI Disassembler pipeline component properties, my 837 file is failing in the receive
pipeline for syntax. Unfortunately I can't disable EDI Validation at the Party level since the party setup is used by the production process that sends claims to the mainframe system. Even with EDI validation turned off, I read that there are still some validations
that is performed. Is there a way to completely turn off EDI validation? In other words turn off SNIP Level 1 and 2 validations? Failed message routing is not an option since it routes entire Transaction set with the failed message. Any better options available
to achieve my requirement? Really appreciate some guidance on this.
Thanks.

Thank you for the reply, boatseller. If a message fails syntax in production, 999 is generated and send out to the TP. But there are some small shops/individual providers who directly submit claims to the Payer. These small shops may not to know to how to
interpret a -ve 999. So we need to report back to them on a paper claim. That's why the need to capture and store the XML message.
Were you leaning towards subscribing to the failed messages in production? There could be multiple claims with in a given ST. Won't the failed message include the entire transaction set, even if there is only one bad claim? Worse case scenario, I was thinking
about having a custom schema with all enumerations and length requirements relaxed. I think that requires a separate path, correct?
