How to ??

[Niranjan Rao]

I am also facing similar problems. I don't want to write attribute and
it's value if the value of attribute is same as DTD. I don't want to
hard code these values in my code, but rather want to get it from DTD.
Are there any API's that can return information about DTD - like
elements allowed here, default and allowed values for attributes etc.

IBM's XML4J had some support but I could not locate methods to get
default values from a DTD.

Thanks for any help,
