URI recognition with Xerces-j

[SL]

Hi,

Im' using Xerces-j (version 2.0.1 and 2.6.2). When parsing this prolog :

<!DOCTYPE teiCorpus
PUBLIC "-//TEI Consortium//DTD TEI P4//EN"
"d:/Program Files/tei-emacs/sgml/dtds/tei/tei2.dtd" [

Xerces return this error stack :

java.net.MalformedURLException
at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:613)
at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:476)
at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:425)
at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLEntityManager.setupCurre ntEntity(Unknown
Source)

[etc.]

The same thing appens with external entity uri declaration :

<!ENTITY DE_CC 'C:\home\Corpus\Courant\CC.xml'>

throws a MalformedURLException.

I have absolutly no idea of the reason why Xerces do that. Any hint welcome
!

Yours,
Sylvain

As well as with :

<!ENTITY DE_CC SYSTEM
'C:/home/Corpus/Courant/CC.xml'>

What you have is not a URL, you need
"file:///d:/Program Files/tei-emacs/sgml/dtds/tei/tei2.dtd"
to have a URL pointing to a resource in the local file system.
I think it is not even Xerces complaining but the built-in java.net.URL
class.

Thanks ! "file:" works. But this document :

<!DOCTYPE teiCorpus.2
SYSTEM "file:///c:/home/Corpus/dtd/myPizza.dtd" []>
<teiCorpus.2>
</teiCorpus.2>

Is still making java.net.URL complaining :

java.net.MalformedURLException
at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:613)
at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:476)
at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:425)
at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLEntityManager.setupCurre ntEntity(Unknown
Source)

(with C: instead of c: and with antislash as well)

but works perfectly with xmllint. I can't found where the exception is
thrown in java.net.URL : the try block surrounds a large piece of code.
