DTD optional?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Should the DTD reference in the output be optional, or better explained ?

If you are offline (or forget to set http_proxy?) you get the following 
error:

BUILD FAILED
 .../jk2/build.xml:466:  javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: 
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: 
com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.utils.WrappedRuntimeException: xml-dir-
listing.googlecode.com

ie. it tries to resolve the DTD over http & fails, and doesn’t bother to 
look for the copy in trunk/lib (or wherever the jar is)

I’m having to do this (after xml-dir-listing has run) :-

 <replace ..>
 <replacetoken>SYSTEM</replacetoken>
 <replacevalue>PUBLIC "-//BBC//XML Directory Listings 0.1//EN" </
replacevalue>
 </replace>

Then set the xmlcatalog to do a local lookup :-

  <xmlcatalog id="dir-listing-catalog">
   <dtd 
     publicId="-//BBC//XML Directory Listings 0.1//EN"
     location="trunk/lib/xml-dir-listing.dtd" />
  </xmlcatalog>

Then reference that in the style task :-

        <xslt ...>
            <xmlcatalog refid="dir-listing-catalog"/>
        </xslt>

+1 on this issue. I'm using the xml-dir-listing ant task and then transforming 
the
output with the xslt task. Because the DOCTYPE declaration does not have a 
PUBLIC id,
I can't include it in an ant xmlcatalog (which only supports PUBLIC id). Result 
is, I
must be connected to internet to do the transformation.

(Otherwise, the task is great. I use it to generate sitemaps).

Taken DTD out of XML output, still available online if needed
