where to log4j.dtd in jboss

[rameshg]

Hi

I facing the following problem.
any help is appreciated.

I have one standard MBean.This MBean uses one utility class which will interact with the BMP entity bean and reads the following xml as a CLOB from the database

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">

<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j='http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/'>

<appender name="AxielleFileAppender" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
<param name="File" value="axielle.log"/>
<param name="MaxFileSize" value="10MB"/>
<param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="1"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ISO8601} [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n"/>
</layout>
</appender>
</log4j:configuration>

After getting the above xml from the database i want document object.so i am parsing by using following code


DocumentBuilder documentBuilder =
builderFactory.newDocumentBuilder ();

document =
documentBuilder
.parse (new InputSource (new StringReader (xmlString)));

At this point i am getting the following exception

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Relative URI "log4j.dtd"; can not be resolved without a document URI.

hi
I am using JBoss 2.4.3 version

you can always leave the dtd declaration out of the xml, or turn off the validation, or replace the log4j.dtd with a full URL to the schema.
