The above statement in hbm.xml file requires internet for verification from dtds. Can anyone tell me how to validate through dtds without internet.

dtds can also be found in .jar of hibernate.

What should be mentioned in DOCTYPE to avoid this problem.

Thanx in advance.

just save the dtd file to somewhere local and change what's in that last quotation

host it locally
"http://localhost/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd"

or put it on your own computer accessible by your application
"/Users/name/workspace/project/lib/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd"

Right now i'm doing this on windows platform, but i want to do it Linux.

Is there any way to assign relative path from web application in DOCTYPE for dtds .

Thanx in advance.

not sure about relative path, I've never tried it. I assume it would work. But I know hosting it locally with a direct path does work
