But JBoss do care, and fails loading the XML document when DOCTYPE is changed from <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd”> to <!DOCTYPE configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd”>, because “configuration” no longer matches the log4j:configuration root. If I do the modification to the XML document with Perl XML::LibXML, then the DOCTYPE isn’t changed. But because we using Ansible for application deployment, we need to use lxml. Unless I do some ugly stuff. =:-) Kim Grønborg Nielsen E kgn+lxml@network-it.dk

I’m using following code to extract DOCTYPE with python 2.7 and lxml 4.1.1: from lxml import tree from StringIO import StringIO
if __name__ == '__main__': doc = etree.parse(StringIO('''<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd"> <log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j = "http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/" debug="false"> <a>tasty</a> </log4j:configuration>''')) print "Type: {}\n".format(doc.docinfo.doctype)
But it returns: Type: <!DOCTYPE configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd”> And not, as I expected: Type: <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
The DOCTYPE looks correct to me. DTDs are not namespace aware and do not know our care about prefixes.
