Problem
Even though XML schema has been around for a decade, still many APIs reference a DTD in the XML documents sent back and fourth. Such is the OpenSRS API. DB2 requires an XML schema or a DTD to be registered before it will process XML documents that refer to an XML Schema or a DTD. The process of registering such XSROBJECTs with DB2 has changed in DB2 since version 8.
Solution
- register a DTD using the DB2 9.7 command line:
db2 CONNECT TO SAMLE
db2 REGISTER XSROBJECT 'dtd-file-name.dtd' FROM /path/to/dtd/file AS sample.dtd-name DTD
If the command is successful, the output is
DB20000I The REGISTER XSROBJECT command completed successfully.
- Register a DTD from a Java program:
String schemaName = "SAMPLE";
String dtdName = "dtd-name";
String dtdFile = "dtd-file-name.dtd";
Reader fis = new FileReader(dtdFile);
byte[] contentDtd = FileIO.readerToString(fis).getBytes();
String registerProcQuery = "CALL SYSPROC.XSR_DTD (?,?,?,?,?)";
PreparedStatement registerProcStatement = conn.prepareCall(registerProcQuery);
registerProcStatement.setString(1, schemaName);
registerProcStatement.setString(2, dtdName);
registerProcStatement.setString(3, dtdFile);
registerProcStatement.setString(4, "PUBLIC ID");
registerProcStatement.setObject(5, contentDtd, java.sql.Types.BLOB);
registerProcStatement.execute();
