I have already created EMF data model using XML schema, and now I am trying to lada data into 'data model' from XML file. The source XML contains the DTD part like below :<!DOCTYPE DSExport [ <!ELEMENT ............... >>. DTD contains one 'constrain' which make problem during reading XML there is part like this: "xml:space (default|preserve) 'preserve'" for one attribute of element 'AA'. The XML element 'AA' in the content of the file does not contain 'xml:space' attribute and it makes a problem for EMF which give me the error during loading xml file: " org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi.FeatureNotFoundException: Feature 'space' not found."
The best solution for me will be to switch off valiadatind the DTD part from XML file, so my question is how to do that ?? If anybody have some suggestion please inform me. Thanks

Jacekad,

It sounds like EMF really would need to be able to find what to do with
the xml:space attribute it sees in the XML regardless of any validation
being done by SAX. Maybe you could try this load option:

/**
* This options allows you to record unknown features during
deserialization/loading.
* The default is <code>Boolean.FALSE</code> unless set to
<code>Boolean.TRUE</code> explicitly.
* The unknown features and their values can be accessed via
getEObjectToExtensionMap().
* @see #getEObjectToExtensionMap()
*/
String OPTION_RECORD_UNKNOWN_FEATURE = "RECORD_UNKNOWN_FEATURE";
