Never mind, i just tried to open a xhtml pointing to strict dtd "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd" in IE and it never returned anything.

And when tried programatically it gave 503 error.So just checked with you.

I have fixed it by downloading the dtd through some other browser & with local dtd it works like a charm.

Thanks for your response.

Hi Murali

Hi Henry

Thank you, glad it was of value to you.

It's been some time since I looked at it. I'll suggest you look closer at XMLCatalogResolver for clues. Maybe overriding resolveResource could be a way to go.

In general if you want to load files to the webapp you either make it public available just like images, html- and jsp-files or place them in the classpath ex. /WEB-INF/classes/ and bootstrap the class loader from the current object. Doing a quick search I found this guide: URL to load resources from the classpath in Java.

Maybe there's help to found in this article:
Tip: Load resources from the classpath. I didn't really read it but it occured to be relevant.

Best regards
Brian

This is a great article and it helped resolve the issue.

But I am not able to find the correct dir to keep the catalog files. PLease note that I am using this in a web application and the java class is called from a JSP. So how does this work for a web app. I am using Tomcat 1.5 with java 5.

Hi flakstad
Thank you for your comment. I expect have figured it out easily, but just to anyone who wonders.
The catalog file was just placed relative to my build, and the DTD along with the entity files where placed in the same folder. You can place them anywhere you like as long as you correct the references.

Best regards
Brian

Thank you very much for posting this article. A great tip that aids both me and others who are getting 503s, as well as the W3C. Although I'm not quite sure where you placed your local DTD and the catalog file, I'm sure I'll figure it out. Thanks.

Cheers,
Paul.
