Is there any way to programmatically default PUBLIC PubidLiteral and SystemLiteral for documents that do
not contain a DOCTYPE statement ?
1st ) Is it even legal / allowed in XML to do so ?
If the answer is NO, please save yourself a lot of time and just say NO
and then ignore the rest.
If the answer is yes, I would like to know how to do it in libxml2.
Question: We would like to be able to default the values found in the
DOCTYPE statement for PUBLIC. If the doc contains a DOCTYPE PUBLIC
set of values, they should rule. But if none are supplied, we want
to dictate what we think they should be. Perhaps this is not
reasonable in the general case. But in our case we know that all
documents sent to our app can be only of one type.
I do not recall anything in my xml readings that claim this
is illegal. I could be wrong, as my memory is old and overloaded.
I have searched and searched and have not found a way to
default the values of
ctxt->extSubSystem and ctxt->extSubUri.
Our desire is as follows. We have created and published a protocol
which we hope other related companies will use such that we can
exchange data. We do not require that they put a DOCTYPE entry
in their documents, although we do require that they can be
configured to do so. In those cases where there is no DOCTYPE we
still want to be able to turn on validation and validate their
documents to see which one of us has not followed the DTD.
But of course validation requires that
ctxt->extSubSystem and ctxt->extSubUri be set.
or
Is there another way ???
P.S. I stepped through the code with the debugger, and I do not feel that there is
any support to do this at this time. But I am hoping that I am wrong.
