XOM API for Processing XML with Java

["Francois Beausoleil" <fbos AT users.sourceforge.net>]

Hello Patrick,

The problem is that your document references a relative resource, but the
resource is not accessible.  You have three ways in which you can solve
that:

1.  Put the SchadeAttest.dtd file at the root of your classpath, or in
the same package where the Load4XML.java file is.  I don't know how the
default EntityResolver works, but it might be able to resolve the
reference.

2.  Use an absolute URL to the SchadeAttest.dtd file.  Something like
file:///path/to/file/SchadeAttest.dtd.  Or use the http protocol, as
appropriate.

3.  Implement an EntityResolver and pass that to XOM.  Implementors of
EntityResolver are responsible for resolving resources and returning them
to the caller.  In your case, when the systemID contains
"SchadeAttest.dtd", you would build a URL to the file, and return that.

Hope that helps !
François
