java: xml/html file with doctype trying to connect to site

**newbieal** · 10-09-2008, 10:08 PM

I've html/xml files that contain the following:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

The Java program that I create parses this file however it won't compile b/c it's trying to visit the w3 site for the DTD info. Any idea if this function can be turned of in Java/Eclipse?

it won't compile

Do you get compiler errors? Or are they runtime errors?

Ok that's called an execution error. Compile errors come from the javac command.
How are you executing the program?

What happens if you load that URL into your browser? Are you able to read anything from it?

**newbieal** · 10-10-2008, 05:00 PM

I do a 'run as' java app in Eclipse.

When I try the link in the browser it downloads a dtd file. I do not want it to connect nor download info. I just want it to ignore the doctype line and this url in particular.

That's interesting. I get the following error:
Forbidden due to abuse
With: http://w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd

I am not permitted to post a full web link to this post as I'm getting the message that says I have to have a post count of 20 or greater to do that but anyway the link should be prefaced with three w's after the first two forward slashes, then, at least in firefox, it works.
