The problem with that approach is that you are not able to parse a standalone DTD file -- only a DTD that is part of an XML document.

You could use the DTDParser class directly but it might require you to write more code than you want. Another approach is to use my NekoDTD[1] tool. It basically makes the DTDParser into an XML parser, reporting all of the DTD information in XML format. So you can use standard XML APIs like DOM and SAX to access the DTD grammar. This also lets you apply XSLT stylesheets and anything else that you can do with XML. In fact, the tool comes with some stylesheets (and some handy .bat files) to do a poor-man's conversion of DTDs into XML Schema and RelaxNG. Depending on what you want to do, NekoDTD may help.
