Oracle's 'outage' also caused me headaches. I needed to parse XML DTDs
and wrote a test program implementing DeclHandler for SAX. My first
run was against a ra.xml file for JCA 1.0, which uses an external DTD
(http://java.sun.com/dtd/connector_1_0.dtd).

Well, it crashed with an unintelligible error. After several rechecks
of my code, I decided to look the connect_1_0.dtd itself. I plugged
the above URL into the browser and got the Oracle Splash Screen.

Oracle has since fixed the problem, but I wondered how many systems
are dependent (per Oracle/Sun's Specifications) on information stored
at 'magic' URLs at sun.com, like DTDs, XSDs and perhaps more. I would
think that most Application Servers would keep their own copy of such
things and 'rewrite' the affected XML; however standalone software may
not.
