Parsing DCR's using java api

Hi,
I do have a problem parsing the dcr's using an inline callout.The reson for the problem is the dtd's.Is it prossible to remove the <!DOCTYPE record SYSTEM "dcr4.5.dtd"> line from a dcr?Is there an option to disable this?if so where and how? cos i understand that teamsite does not use this for validating an xml.
Thanks,
paul

if you're parsing the DCR as a string (rather than a file) perhaps you can remove the second line (DOCTYPE) from the string prior to doing the parsing - or modify it so that the DTD reference is a path to IWHOME/local/config/...

Hi Fish,
I'm trying to parse the dcr as a file rather than as a string,hence the problem.I get an exception SAXParseException = org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: External entity not found:
Is there a way to configure teamsite not to put the doctype element when it's creating a dcr or put a relative path in the doctype as u suggested.If possible where is it that I can specify this?
The workaround that i have found is to just place the dtd in the present directory, but , i'm not pleased with that.

Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul

you can disable the dtd validation when parsing the xml. I am not sure if you can disable the doctype element when it's creating. But you can certainly run a external java or perl to remove doctype element from the DCR and then parsing it.
