[Classpathx-xml] problem with SYSTEM entities

[Egon Willighagen]

Hi all,

i rather new to the GNUJAXP implementation of SAX2 and was wondering about 
the following.

Consider this XML doc:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//Norman Walsh//DTD Slides XML V1.1//EN" 
"../../lib/dtd/docbookx.dtd" [
<!ENTITY intro SYSTEM "introduction.xml">
]>
<article id="cdk_article" status="draft">
        <articleinfo>
         <title>Some Article</title>
         <authorgroup>
                 <author>
                        <firstname>Egon</firstname>
                        <othername>L.</othername>
                        <surname>Willighagen</surname>
                </author>
                </authorgroup>
        </articleinfo>
&intro;
</article>

when i parse it with Aelfred2 i get this error:

About to parse test.xml...
java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: introduction.xml


This seems to refer to <!ENTITY intro SYSTEM "introduction.xml">...
Parsing this doc with other parsers (nsgmls, xerces) gives no problem, 
and AFAIK it is indeed correct XML code...

I am using the release of 22 november last year.

Is this a bug in the Aelfred2 parser? How can i solve this problem?

kind regards,

Egon Willighagen
