Validating modelglue.xml against DTD in Eclipse

I did very little today due to a mistake in my modelglue.xml. It turns out I specified:

<event-handler name="register.finish" access="private">
<broadcasts>
<message name="clearNewAccountBean" />
</broadcasts>
<result>
<result name="doEventPage" do="event.advert" redirect="true" append="event" />
<result name="doHomePage" do="pap.home" redirect="true" />
</result>
</event-handler>

See the mistake? The result tag is inside of another “result” tag instead of “results” like it should be in this correct version:

<results>
<result name="doEventPage" do="event.advert" redirect="true" append="event" />
<result name="doHomePage" do="pap.home" redirect="true" />
</results>

How to use the DTD in CFEclipse

Using the DTD, included in the Model-Glue distribution (/ModelGlue/modelglue.dtd), is easy. Just put this at the top of your file (or any included file):

<!DOCTYPE modelglue SYSTEM "../../ModelGlue/modelglue.dtd">

Just set the path to the DTD and XMLBuddy in Eclipse will give you squiggly lines when you jack up the configuration. Enjoy – you will surely have more hair left than I!
