Thanks! I accomplished my goal by doing the following, using your
suggestion:
public InputSource resolveEntity (String publicId, String systemId) {
InputSource is = new InputSource();
StringReader sr = new StringReader("");
is.setCharacterStream(sr);
return is;
}
And yes, the code parses the data we want, as expected.

i also strongly suspect that it's the parser that is attempting to
resolve the DOCTYPE (rather than digester). IIRC all (compliant) xml
parsers (even non-validating ones) need to resolve the DOCTYPE.
craig's absolutely right that the correct approach is to provide a
custom entity resolver but i suspect that your problem lies with the
behaviour of some parsers when null is returned - they then fall back
to their original resolution mechanism.
if you want a workaround, then you may have more luck supplying an
empty, non-null inputstream.
