Removing this line make my xmlReader read the web.xml entries also.

I know it has smthing to do with the dtd but not sure in what direction to proceed for looking out a solution.

  • Try using a custom EntityResolver to resolve the DTD

  • http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd
  • Or disable validation in your DocumentBuilderFactory

    Hi. Why don't you try using XPath to traverse your XML? JDK 1.5 already has an XPath interface which will allow you to use an XPath expression to jump to a node and work with it. I used it to parse XML files and it was pretty fast (well, until the XML file got really big and I had to switch to StAX).

    Hope this helps.

    For large document processing I've recently been introduced to DataDirect XQuery, which offers an XQJ implementation based on the JSR-255 proposed final draft. It offers stream-based processing of large XML documents using StAX (Woodstox I believe). Coupled with document projection techniques it does a pretty good job of keeping the memory footprint as small as possible. I've really taken a liking to the XQuery approach of processing XML. Unfortunately the DataDirect implementation is fully commercial, so I'm still on the look-out for a solid freeware (preferably open-source) alternative, for use in my private little developement projects
     
    Oh sure, it's a tiny ad, but under the right circumstances, it gets bigger.
