 | | | Parsing DTD 's with CDATA elements | Parsing DTD 's with CDATA elements 2003-01-14 - By Greg Hess
Hi All,
I have build a data structure that contains an element of type CDATA.
When I parse the xml data I get the error org.xml.sax.SAXParseException:
A '(' character or an element type is required in the declaration of
element type "initData". Does anyone have any insight as to why my xml
cannot be validated by Xerces. It also displays fine when tested under
IE when I remove the # in #CDATA?
Many thanks,
Greg
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE invocation (View Source for full doctype...)>
<http://localhost/instancemanager/testXML##> - <invocation>
<method>_import</method>
<id>1235768_69</id>
<typeName>sometype</typeName>
<http://localhost/instancemanager/testXML##> - <initData>
- <![CDATA[

The data is validated with the following dtd:
