Validating generated XML file with DTD

[Former Member]

Hello all,

my requirement is to test the XML file with its DTD.

we are creating an XML file, before writing it on the application server , we need to test it with its DTD.

i found one method set_validating in the interface if_ixml_parser , for validating XML file, but not getting an idea how to use it, like how to link the DTD to XML etc.

if i try to use the above method am getting the following error:

Unable to retrieve the external entity 'd:\dtdfile.dtd'.

where 'd:\dtdfile.dtd' is the path of the DTD file included in the Doctype of the XML file.

Please help me to solve this.

Thx in advance.

Do you have SAP XI (or PI)?

If so, you can send your xml to XI, validate it with your DTD file in a java module, and retrieve the result to you.

hi,

we do not have XI or PI. we are creating an XML file in ABAP and sending it to application server, application server side, it receives only XML files.

Hello,

Did you find your answer ?

I know how to validate an XML file an internal DTD, but not an external one... If you know, can you pelase advice ?

If you didn't found yet, you need to use method get_reason() to get the description of the error.

best regards,

Gilles.
