As the example below shows, when the database attempt to parse this document in order to create an XMLType the following error is returned.

LPX-00202: could not open "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd" (error 101)

The cause of this error is that the XML Parser detects the presence of the DOCTYPE tag in the XML document and automatically switches into validating Mode. It then attempts to access the DTD at the specified URL. In this example there is a proxy server sitting between the database the outside world, so the XML Parser is unable to access the specified URL and the LPX-00202 is thrown.

One solution to this is to configure database to use the Proxy Server. However

However in general having to access content stored outside of the database when processing XML content inside the database is not a good idea. There are 2 main reasons for this.

The first is performance, the time taken to access the external content will be much higher than the time taken to access content stored in the database.

The second is security, it is possible for the URL to be spoofed meaning that the document returned by the HTTP operation may not be the correct document.
etc going down or being spoofed..

One way to avoid this is to prevent the Parser switching into validating mode when it detects the presence of the DOCTYPE tag. This can be done by setting the following event..
alter session set events ='31156 trace name context forever, level 2'
/
As can be seen, once this event has been set, the XMLType can now be constructed, even though the DOCTYPE tag is still present.

Session altered.

If the DOCTYPE is a SYSTEM, rather than PUBLIC DOCTYPE, then XML DB treats the Path as being relative to the root of the XML DB repository.

For instance, if the DOCTYPE looks like this
<!DOCTYPE plist SYSTEM "/public/dtd/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
instead of like this
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
Then the error message generated when the document is parsed becomes
ORA-31001: Invalid resource handle or path name "/public/dtd/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"
instead of 
LPX-00202: could not open "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"
This is because the XML parser is now trying to locate the DTD as a resource in the XML DB repository.

In this case loading the DTD into the appropraite location in the XML DB repository will resolve the problem. This can be done as follows
SQL> declare
  2    res boolean;
  3  begin
  4    res := dbms_xdb.createFolder('/public/dtd');
  5    res := dbms_xdb.createResource('/public/dtd/PropertyList-1.0.dtd',bfilename('XMLDIR','PropertyList-1.0.dtd'));
  6    commit;
  7  end;
  8  /

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Once the DTD has been loaded documents that contain references to the DTD can now be processed successfully.
SQL> create or replace directory XMLDIR as 'c:\xdb\faq\example4'
  2  /

Directory created.

SQL> create table LIBRARY_XML of XMLType
  2  /

Table created.

SQL> insert into LIBRARY_XML values ( xmltype(bfilename('XMLDIR','Library.system.xml'),nls_charset_id('AL332UTF8')) )
  2  /

1 row created.

SQL> declare
  2    res boolean;
  3  begin
  4    res := dbms_xdb.createResource('/public/Library.xml',xmltype(bfilename('XMLDIR','Library.system.xml'),nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8')));
  5  end;
  6  /

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL>
Note that if the DOCTYPE tag contains no path, simple the name of the DTD, eg
<!DOCTYPE plist SYSTEM "PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
then XML DB would expect to find the DTD in the root of the XML DB repository. This would mean that the path passed to createResouce() would be '/PropertyList-1.0.dtd' and the resource could only be created by a user who had permission to create resources in the root of the repository. This would typically be system, or some other user who has been granted XDBADMIN.
