Oracle DTD Validation problem

Question

Hi All,
I'm using the xmlparserv2.jar in the Oracle XML Schema Processor library (version 1.0) to validate my XML document. This is how I set the parser up:
//createURL is a method to create the URL from the filename
URL path = createURL(dtdFileName);
//Create a new DOMParser
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
//Parse the external DTD first, to make sure the DTD is valid. Throws an XMLParseException
//if the DTD is not valid.
parser.parseDTD(path, rootName);
DTD dtdFile = parser.getDoctype();
//Set the parser properties to use the DTD file obtained
parser.setPreserveWhitespace(true);
parser.setValidationMode(XMLParser.DTD_VALIDATION);
parser.setErrorStream(System.err);
parser.setDoctype(dtdFile);
//Do the validation by parsing the document. Throws an XMLParseException if there're any
//validation error
input = new BufferedInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(XMLString.getBytes()));
parser.parse(input);
The problem is that it complained that the XML document is not valid (while I know for sure it is!)...it doesn't seem like it's validating againts the DTD specified. I had no problem with the previous version (ver 0.9), so I'm wondering if I'm doing it right.
Also, what's the difference between the xmlparserv2.jar in the XML Parser v2.0.2.9 and the xmlparserv2.jar in the XML Schema Processor v1.0.0.0?? What's should I be using either one of them?
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
Jin

When you go to get connection you have to set the ORACLE_SID enviroment variable or use the service name in the string to get connection.
