Connection Reset Exception with Jdom

[Praful Thakare]

Hi,

I have following lines of code that throws

org.jdom.JDOMException: Error in building: Connection reset
at org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder.build(SAXBuilder.java:373)
at org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder.build(SAXBuilder.java:772)

when i pass struts-config.xml as args[0], but if i remove

<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.1//EN"
"http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_1.dtd">

from struts-config file then there is no exception, can some one explain whats going on here?

  
	SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder(false);
		try {
				Document doc=builder.build(args[0]) ;

Connection reset sounds like your program was trying to read something from the network. Presumably that DTD.

yes i thought the same, but wondering if it is common behavior of

  builder.build(..)   

method to do so? is there a way to avoid this ?

-P

How about making a local copy of the DTD so the parser can find it?
