How to ignore DTD in xml files under JAXB?

hi,
I have a program that has to access files which declare they use a DTD that no longer exists on the web in that location.
we don't have the option to alter the xml files since they don't belong to us!
I've written an equivalent schema and its all working with the files that have correct DTD references.
Is there a way to tell the unmarshaller not to attempt to use the DTD that the documents declare?
thanks,
asjf

I've found that by opening a inputstream to the XML file and wrapping it to filter the DTD out altogether and passing that inputstream to JAXB does the trick.
this seems actually faster, since it doesn't go off on the net to look for the dtd!
is this not catered for already somewhere??
thanks,

How to paste DTD in XML file. (not reference to .dtd file)

Hello!
I create XML file using DOM. How can I create DTD on the top of the file?
I need the DTD, not a reference to it. So the next method won't work.
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM, "Resources\\Settings\\projectFile.dtd") since it is paste a reference to .dtd file. It means that if user moves XML file to other place he need to move .dtd file also, and I don't want this method. I want paste next DTD
<!DOCTYPE project [
                    <!ELEMENT project (component*) >
                    <!ELEMENT component ANY >
                    <!ATTLIST component id ID #REQUIRED >
]>from the .dtd file on the top of my XML file. How can I do this?
Thank you.

How to Read and Generate XML file from java code.

hi guys,
how to read the xml file (Condition :we know only DTD or Shema only).
How to Generate the new xml file ?(using Shema )
And one more how directly Generate the xml from DB?
Pleas with code or any URL

Using XMLbeans you can generate Java objects from an XSD schema (perhaps DTDs aswell)
Then you can create an instance of the Document object and ask it to write itself.
This will create an XML document complient to the schema.
XMLBeans generates a "type" safe DOM where you can only ever have a structure compilent to you schema.

thnx in adv.

hi shanu,
the pbm is solved, now i m able to access XXX no. in action class & i m able to validate it. The only thing which i want to know is it ok to declare static ArrayList as i have done in this code. i mean will it affect the performance or functionality of the system.
pls have a look at the following code snippet.
public class XMLValidator {
static ArrayList strXXX = new ArrayList();
public void validate(){
factory.setValidating(true);
parser = factory.newSAXParser();
//all factory code is here only
parser.parse(xmlURI, new XMLErrorHandler());
public void setXXX(String pstrXXX){
strUpn.add(pstrXXX);
public ArrayList getXXX(){
return strXXX;
class XMLErrorHandler extends DefaultHandler {
String tagName = "";
String tagValue = "";
String applicationRefNo = "";
String XXXValue ="";
String XXXNo = "";
XMLValidator objXmlValidator = new XMLValidator();
public void startElement(String uri, String name, String qName, Attributes atts) {
tagName = qName;
public void characters(char ch[], int start, int length) {
if ("Reference".equals(tagName)) {
tagValue = new String(ch, start, length).trim();
if (tagValue.length() > 0) {
RefNo = new String(ch, start, length);
if ("XXX".equals(tagName)) {
XXXValue = new String(ch, start, length).trim();
if (XXXValue.length() > 0) {
XXXNo = new String(ch, start, length);
public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName) throws SAXException {
if(qName.equalsIgnoreCase("XXX")) {
objXmlValidator.setXXX(XXXNo);

What my program do is to get the encoding of XML files and convert them to UTF-8 encoding files, while I need this "encoding" information of the original XML document thus I can convert...
After reading specifications and JDOM docs, the truth turns to be disappointed, no function is provided to get this information in JDOM level 2(the current released one), while it's promissed that this function will be provided in JDOM level API....
Thanx all for your help and attention!!!

How I can create a XML file from java Aplication

How I can create a XML file from java Aplication
whith have a the following structure
<users>
<user>
<login>anyName</login>
<password>xxxx</password>
</user>
</users>
the password label must be encripted
accept any suggestion

Let us assume you have all the data from the jsp form in an java bean object..
Now you want a xml file. This can be acheived in 2 ways
1. Write it into a file using java.io classes. Say you have a class with name
write("<name>"+obj.getName+</name>);
bingo you have a flat file with the xml
2. Use data binding to do the trick
will recommend JiBx and Castor for the 2nd option

How to remove Unicode from XML file

I get following error when unmarshal xml:
[java] org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x15) was found in the element content of the document.
Anyone know how to remove Unicode from xml file? Can I remove the unicode by rebuild the file?
Thanks

These sort of error usually occur when you're using a different character encoding to read the file than the one you wrote it with. Perhaps if you were to post the problem section of the file and/or the code that created it in the first place.

How do I create individual xml files from the parsed data output of a xml file?

How can (parse) i use XML file with missing EndTag

hi,
i have an application which writes an "XML file".
another application should read that XML file, build an DOM and
access the nodes with xpath.
my problem. if the first application is not finished there are tags
missing. e.g. </xml>. but the seconds application cannot wait until the first application finishes it task.
if i now read the XML file the parser cannot load it because the end tags are missing.
my question:
how can i deactivate the check or how can i read the XML file and access it via XPath (my application is using at the moment XPath to access the nodes and i dont want to change that)
as parser i am using XERCES
alex

As far as I know, you can't do this - xml must be well formed (this is sort of a bedrock of xml). There may be some work around's, but I'm not aware of any - and they would most likely be hacks.
