Alberto, What does "setLoadExternalDTD(false)" provide me? From what I understand from the FAQ, this is an alternative to overloading the entity resolver.
Thanks for the quick reply.

If you want to prevent Xerces from loading those files too, you should create an entity resolver and return an empty content when requested (see the Redirect sample). >However, my parser still spit out an XMLPlatformException, a fatal >error with message: "Could not close the file" By chance, are you running on Solaris? This looks similar to http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1658 Alberto >I'm using 2.7 and here is a sample of xml file: > ><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> ><!DOCTYPE NewsML SYSTEM "../DTD/NewsMLv1.0.dtd" [<!ENTITY % >NskBasicText.dtd SYSTEM "../DTD/NskBasicText.dtd"> >%NskBasicText.dtd;]> > ><NewsML> ></NewsML> > >I do not have the mentioned DTD files in my local computer. > >Thanks in advance and happy holidays. > > >Alex
