Re: How to get the 1st element in DTD

[Murali Mani <mani@CS.UCLA.EDU>]

Sorry i did not use the exact names -- i have not used xml parsers from
March 2000 -- sorry for the imprecise answers --

basically you have to do this --

To get to the first element of the DTD -- I think you want to know what is
the element specified as the root using the DOCTYPE declaration --

do this --

Let the Document be doc

(doc.getDoctype ()).getName ()

Document.getDoctype () returns DocumentType --
DocumentType.getName () returns the name of the DOCTYPE declaration as a
String

regards - murali.

Note that in xml4j 1.1.16, if I remember correctly, DTD implements
DocumentType, also the method getDoctype is in the Document interface --
it is not in DTD.
