-------------------------------
Summary: allow override of
http://apache.org/xml/features/disallow-doctype-decl
Key: FOP-3086
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-3086
Project: FOP
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.7
Reporter: Greg Janée
In org.apache.fop.cli.InputHandler.getXMLReader, there is a call that is
hard-coded to set SAX feature
[http://apache.org/xml/features/disallow-doctype-decl] to true. This breaks
existing implementations (such as mine) that process libraries of templates
that contain DOCTYPE declarations. While I'm sure there was a reason for this
change (security against rogue DOCTYPE contents I'm guessing), the risk doesn't
apply for implementations that are processing internally-maintained templates
and that are not processing templates coming in from the wild. The request is
to make this setting overrideable to false by some kind of FOP configuration
parameter or environment variable. As it is, this completely breaks FOP for my
installation, and the only way I've been able to continue to run is to
monkey-patch the JAR file.
