[Expat-discuss] XML Parser Error

[Subramanian, Binu]

Thanx Fred.

Found out that the parser searches for the specified DTD file in the current
directory
which was different from the path in which the XML file + DTD were located.

After setting the current directory to the directory where the DTD was
found, i didnt get
the error.

kr,
Binu

It looks like the SAX wrapper is trying to resolve the system
identifier "1_EN.dtd" and can't.  Does the file exist?  Is it in the
same directory as the document?

Depending on the SAX wrapper's entity resolution support, it may not
be able to resolve relative references.  You should determine what the
capabilities of the supplied entity resolver are; the error message
from Expat (the last line of the output you provided) indicates that
the external entity handler signalled an error.
