Hi everyone,
I've recently had an error with a process involving fop, upon running
fop java throws an exception and quits, every time The exception is:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java.io.IOException: Server
returned HTTP response code: 503 for URL:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtdThe next two paragraphs are the reason and the workaround, my question
is below.
After a bit of hunting around, it looks like the folk at W3C are
deliberately blocking access to clients making lots of requests for
various DTDs since their servers are being heavily loaded serving the
same file to the same people over and over. This does make a lot of
sense.
My work around was to hack my /etc/hosts file to point www.w3.org back
at the local machine where I've got copies of all the DTDs that I need
(xhtml-lat1.ent, xhtml-symbol.ent, xhtml-special.ent, and xhtml1-
strict.dtd). Now fop thinks it's fetching the DTDs, but it's actually
looking at a local apache instance rather than ww3.org and everyone is
happy.
---- THE QUESTION ----
My question is, is there a way to prevent fop from fetching DTDs but
instead look first for a local copy. I mean let's face it, the xhtml1-
strict spec probably isn't going to change any time soon, I'd be just
as happy to keep the file locally. I couldn't find anything in the
archives or online regarding this, but I only use fop infrequently so
I may be looking in the wrong place.
Thanks for your time and any help you may be able to give.
Hayden
