As for as I know, you can not completely turn-off the validation
if you have doctype declaration present in the xml using XSL.
So easiest thing would be removing doctype declaration.
You can do that by simple string manipulation.
Goodluck..

I have switched off the validation of xml in sml spy
Hi
I have an XML document coming out of a system which needs to be
translated to text document. I have written XSL to do this, but when i apply
it to the xml it is failing because it is trying to validate against a dtd
and cannot find it.
( I am using XML spy and processor
java -cp C:\cm\lib\xalan.jar org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN %1 -XSL %3
-OUT %2
I was wondering if there is an option to turn off such validation using XSL.
thanks for help

response i got
The Xalan CLI turns off XML validation by default already. However, turning
off validation may not be enough because even non-validating parsers have to
read the DTD (to some extent). You are probably best off removing the
DOCTYPE declaration completely with some other tool, for example a stream
editor. Another possible option is to use a custom entity resolver which
supplies an empty DTD.
