BorlandXML dtd->java question

[J. User]

Hi,

I'm running the developer version and have successfully run the sample dtd->java project but have a couploe of
questions:

1. the docs mention that it is a two step process dtd->bom->java and that you can use the bom file to customize
the mapping to java but there seems to be no option to generate this file - the wizard comes up and java is
generated directly. There does seem to be a two step version in the extras tree but it looks very old and
preliminary and not what is used now. Are the docs just out of date or am I missing some option somewhere?

2. the example dtd works fine but if I substitute a different file, e.g. the original dtd:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!ELEMENT XmlEmployee (EmpNo, FirstName, LastName, PhoneExt, HireDate, DeptNo, JobCode, JobGrade, JobCountry,
Salary, FullName)>
<!ELEMENT DeptNo (#PCDATA)>
etc.

is replaced with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!ELEMENT Xmlcims_document(cims_model_node?, cims_global_node?, cims_general_node*)>
<!ELEMENT cims_general_node(cims_general_node*, cims_attributes)>
etc.

then it is as if it never sees the file, the "root element" entry in the wizard is blank and the wizard
generates one java file rootelement.java as if it never saw my dtd file.

TIA,

John

This appears to be something which may have
been the case in an earlier version, but
as of JBuilder X, I don't see the .bom
file anywhere.

Wow. All that running around in the IDE newsgroup
thread, and this is what you mean by "empty". It
has nothing to do with line endings. That's a red herring.

Run JBuilder in the -verbose mode from the command-line.
See the error messages which indicate where
your substituted DTD is invalid.

Yeah, neither did I even though the JBuilderX docs say it should be there :(

I said it actred as if the file was empty - that seems pretty clear.

ok I'll try that.
