Well, here is a sample class for a in-memory entity cache (it will therefore cache DTDs). It is a dumb cache, because if the original DTD changes, the cache is not refreshed, but for many cases it is sufficient. We have implemented a much more flexible caching framework, but here it's out of scope. import java.net.*; import java.util.*; import org.xml.sax.*; public class DTDMemoryCache implements EntityResolver { private Map cache=new HashMap(); // Remember to handle synchronization issues !! // A dumb but easy implementation would synchronize the whole // resolveEntity method public synchronized InputSource resolveEntity(String publicIdP,String systemIdP) throws SAXException { // The PUBLIC id is the key to our cache byte[] resultP=cache.get(publicIdP); if(resultP==null) { try { // The SYSTEM id is the URL used to fetch the entity URL urlP=new URL(systemIdP); InputStream isP=urlP.openConnection(); ByteArrayOutputStream baosP=new ByteArrayOutputStream(); // We copy the input stream into the output stream // Fast buffer implementation // I could have used BufferInputStream and OutputStream // But it's much slower int readP; byte[] bufferP=new byte[1024]; while((readP=isP.read(bufferP))>-1) { baosP.write(bufferP,0,readP); } resultP=baosP.toByteArray(); // We store the result in the cache. cache.put(publicIdP,resultP); } catch(Exception eP) { throw new SAXException(eP); } } return new InputSource(new ByteArrayInputStream(resultP)); } } Now, how to install this EntityResolver ? Both the org.xml.sax.Parser and the javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder have a setEntityResolver() method that enables you to install your own EntotyResolver before parsing your documents.

Objet : RE: load DTD in memory. hi, thanks for your answer, but could you please tell me more on how to do it since the API doc doesn't explain it very well. cheers. -----Original Message----- From: Nicolas LEHUEN [mailto:nicolas.lehuen@u...] Sent: 05 September 2001 13:26 To: Sarno, Giuseppe [MAIFP:GM12:EXCH]; 'xml-dev@l...' Subject: RE: load DTD in memory. To cache DTDs the easiest thing to do with SAX is to implement your own EntityResolver. This way you'll be able to cache locally or in memory all entities, amongst them the DTDs.

Hi , I was wondering , in case is needed to parse a lot of XML docs , is it possible to load the DTD or Schema one in memory and always reuse it instead of reloading it for each Doc validation ? cheers. --------------InterScan_NT_MIME_Boundary-- --------------InterScan_NT_MIME_Boundary--
