Ok, If I understand your comments correctly, loading a grammar does not override the reference specified in an XML instance. So, if the instance has an outdated DTD reference and I want to parse against a later version, using loadGrammar will cause the Parser to parse against both DTD's instead of only against the one loaded via loadGrammar. If this is correct, then how can I specify a specific DTD to parse against rather than the one specified in the XML instance?

Unlike XML Schema which has a target namespace as a grammar identifier, for DTD there is no way for the parser to know that the grammar in cache is the same as the one referenced from XML instance. So, in your case, the parser will use both grammars. One way to change this might be to do setLoadExternalDTD(false).
