JDOM XMLSchema + DTD validation error

[Geert Delanote-2]

How do you combine XMLSchema validation with the use of DTD's (for entities)?

I have an XMLSchema describing my XML instances. An instance is a
combination of some parts. The parts can be used in multiple wholes.
So I thought to work in the following way :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE whole [
<!ENTITY p7 SYSTEM "p7.xml">
<!ENTITY p8 SYSTEM "p8.xml">
]>
<whole xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="mySchema.xsd">
&p7;
&p8;
</whole>

My Java code is :
SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder(true);
builder.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema", true);
doc = builder.build(new File("PathToMyFile"));

Parsing the input file gives the following error : "Element type
"whole" must be declared."

Anyone an idea what I'm doing wrong?

Try new SAXBuilder(false).

You don't actually want DTD validation, you just want entity expansion,
which should happen anyway.

There is no validation at all anymore then?

My workaround now is :
                        SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder(false);
                        Document doc = builder.build(new File("PathToMyFile"));
                        doc.setDocType(null);
                        SAXBuilder valBuilder = new SAXBuilder(true);
                        valBuilder.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema",
true);
                        valBuilder.build(new StringReader(new
org.jdom.output.XMLOutputter().outputString(doc)));

Using the same builder twice with the extra statement
builder.setValidation(true) doesn't work : I don't understand why...
