Perhaps EntityResolver2.getExternalSubset() is only part of the solution. Can you show concrete examples where this wouldn't work on its own? Note that if a document already has an external subset your instance of EntityResolver2 will get a call to resolveEntity() and you can tell by the entity name "[dtd]" that the parser is asking you to resolve it. That's also an opportunity to inject whatever entity declarations you want to add and could include the DTD you were asked to resolve through a parameter entity. > Which takes me back to the question of a custom XIncludeHandler and (a) > whether that is a valid option and (b) how to properly make sure my > custom XIncludeHandler gets used in the pipeline. There's no supported way of doing that. You would have to reach into the implementation and if you managed to get something working your application could be broken with a future release of Xerces. We make no guarantees on the stability of internal components and warn users in the Javadoc that they're on shaky ground if they choose that path. > -- > Steve Ebersole <st...@hibernate.org> > http://hibernate.org > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: j-users-unsubscr...@xerces.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: j-users-h...@xerces.apache.org Thanks.
