XMERL - path to DTD directory

[Michael McDaniel]

 I give explicit path to dtd file ...


 {XMLn, _} = xmerl_scan:string( Xml, [{space, normalize} ,
	      {doctype_DTD, "/path/to/some/file.dtd"},
	      {validation, true}]) ,


 which does not really help if you have no information as to *which*
 dtd file should be used, though maybe you can consolidate some dtd
 files which cover various Xml input for different stages of operation.

 I wind up having something like

-record( dtd, { 
               rcv       = "/path/to/include/rcv.dtd" ,
               xmit      = "/path/to/include/xmit.dtd" ,
               query     = "/path/to/include/query.dtd" ,
               qRequest  = "/path/to/include/qRequest.dtd" ,
               qResponse = "/path/to/include/qResponse.dtd" 
}).


 and then use the appropriate field depending on what state the
 application is in

 {XMLn, _} = xmerl_scan:string( Xml, [{space, normalize} ,
	      {doctype_DTD, ConfRec#dtd.query},
	      {validation, true}]) ,



Following link was very helpful to me when I created the application:
