Well, if you want a radical opinion, then just remove the DTD specification all together. Fact is, the only time you need to validate an XML file is when you system is receiving XML dynamically from an external source which, of coarse is how XML got started with the B2B and C2B and all that malarkey.

 

If your tests prove that your database interactions work then your hibernate xml file must be formatted correctly. No need to revalidate everytime its loaded.

 

I presume you are not editing the xml file live in production. That's always dangerous.

 

The more traditional opinions are:

 

o    Place the dtd file on your web site and use an http://localhost/....dtd reference to get at it. Downside is that if you are running your web server in debug mode then you are likely to only have one thread so it will lock up on you, but works fine in production.

 

o    You can run a separate webapp or even a light web server to host the dtd files. There is a solution out there that is a tiny web server that is started up from a servlet in your webapp. Seems a little over kill but there you do.

 

o    This is a fun one. Use the setURLStreamHandlerFactory replacement. This allows you to define webinf: as a protocol and make the handler do the funny tricks to resolve the file position. Downside is that there is only one root protocol handler so it doesn't work in WebLogic because the contains is already using it.

 

    URL.setURLStreamHandlerFactory(new MyURLStreamHandlerFactory());

 

There is a library out there that will do this for you but I can't remember its name. Clair or something silly like that.

 

o    Embed the DTD inside the XML file. This is what we did on a project last year, we just ran an ant task that merge the dtd into the xml file at build time.

Subject: [cinjug-users] hibenate configuration problem

Hi

  I am using hibernate for my portlet development.

 In the hibernate config file if I use the following DTD I get the refuse connect exception for hibernate.sourcforge.net . 

<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
        "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 2.0//EN"
        "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-2.0.dtd">

 

when I change the location of hibernate-configuration-2.0.dtd to c:\ directory my application is working fine.

 

Now I am deploying my application to server , I need suggestions from you all on how to overcome this problem. I am using latest version of xerces2.7.1
