Thank you for your quick response. The problem is that in my EntityResolver, I don't create a new FileReader. I create a new FileReader only when I construct the EntityResolver, and that is only done once during initialization. When I submit the first input XML file, it returns the expected validation errors. When I submit a second XML file (the same one), the code encounters this error:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java.io.IOException: Stream closed Here is my code (please forgive how amateur it is -- I am new to this). final String ENTITY_RESOLVER_2_ID = " http://xml.org/sax/features/use-entity-resolver2";; SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance(); factory.setFeature(ENTITY_RESOLVER_2_ID, true); factory.setValidating( true ); SAXParser parser = factory.newSAXParser(); reader = parser.getXMLReader(); reader.setEntityResolver(new DTDEntityResolver(new FileReader("MYDTD.dtd"))); reader.setFeature( "http://xml.org/sax/features/validation";, true ); ... And here is the EntityResolver class definition : public class DTDEntityResolver implements EntityResolver2 { InputSource input; public DTDEntityResolver(Reader dtd) { input = new InputSource(dtd); } public InputSource getExternalSubset(String name, String baseURI) throws SAXException { return input; } public InputSource resolveEntity(String publicId, String systemId) { return null; } public InputSource resolveEntity(String name, String publicId, String baseURI, String systemId) throws SAXException { return null; } } Any help would be appreciated.
