xml-dev - DeclHandler

[stratulat@osis.fr]

Hi,

I'm developing a project where I need to automatically generate a Java
interface from a XML file. In order to do this, I need to read the DTD and
using some rules to map the elements and the attributes of the DTD to Java
Swing components.
In order to read a DTD I must use SAX2 extension, which provides an
interface DeclHandler.
When I attempt to register the handler (using setProperty method of the
XMLReader) the parser throws an error because it doesn't support the
declaration events.
I don't understand why, because I use xerces as parser, and this one
supports the DeclHandler interface.

Could someone explain me the reason of this error.

thanks,

Cornelia
