Subject: [xsl] Changing DOCTYPE during runtime
Hello List,
My xml contains <!DOCTYPE project PUBLIC
"-//XYZ Corporation//Project 1.3//EN"
"h:/xyz_project/dtd/project.dtd"> and to change the
hardcoded "h:", I declared a system variable PROJ_HOME
and I changed the declaration
<!DOCTYPE project PUBLIC "-//XYZ Corporation//Project
1.3//EN" "$PROJ_HOME:/xyz_project/dtd/project.dtd">.
I am setting PROJ_HOME during runtime but still the
same thing is not reflected in xml document.
Am I doing something wrong?
Firstly, this question has nothing to do with XSLT.
Secondly, references to environment variables such as $PROJ_HOME are
replaced by the contents of the variable only when you are executing a shell
script, not when you are running software such as an XML Parser.
The correct mechanism to use here is a relative URI.
