Description benson margulies

2010-07-15 15:44:54 EDT

Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

My XML file starts with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE regexps PUBLIC "-//basistech.com//DTD RLP Regular Expression Config 1.0//EN" >

and gets flagged with:


Description	Resource	Path	Location	Type
The system identifier must begin with either a single or double quote character.	test-regexpset.xml	/config_db/src/test/resources/com/basistech/configdb/dao	line 2	XML Problem


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Make an XML file with a DOCTYPE like the one in the Details, and watch for the error.

This DOCTYPE Declaration is wrong .You are missing SYSTEM id that should come right after public id.
Your example should look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE regexps PUBLIC "-//basistech.com//DTD RLP Regular Expression Config
1.0//EN" "System id here">

The system ID is optional in the grammar.

Following it down to [75] of the recommendation, it is not.
