Description

Filesystem structure:

/a.xml
/dtd/a.dtd
/ent/a.ent

• A dokument (a.xml for example) with an external DTD give (dtd/a.dtd for example).
• The DTD declares an external entity (../ent/a.ent for example)
• The dokument refers to the entity

=>The parser tries to resolve (../ent/a.ent) relative to the path of the
document and not to the dtd => That's wrong!

The problem - in my opinion - is within the function createReader in
internal/ReaderMgr.cpp:

XMLReader* ReaderMgr::createReader( const XMLCh* const baseURI
, const XMLCh* const sysId
, const XMLCh* const pubId
, const bool xmlDecl
, const XMLReader::RefFrom refFrom
, const XMLReader::Types type
, const XMLReader::Sources source
, InputSource*& srcToFill
, const bool calcSrcOfs)
{
...
if ((!urlTmp.setURL((!baseURI || !*baseURI) ? lastInfo.systemId :
baseURI, expSysId.getRawBuffer(), urlTmp)) ||
(urlTmp.isRelative()))

{ if (!fStandardUriConformant) srcToFill = new (fMemoryManager) LocalFileInputSource ( lastInfo.systemId // !!!! sould be (!baseURI || !*baseURI) ? lastInfo.systemId : baseURI , expSysId.getRawBuffer() , fMemoryManager ); else ThrowXMLwithMemMgr(MalformedURLException, XMLExcepts::URL_MalformedURL, fMemoryManager); }

...
}

This path works for me within Xerces-C 2.5
