Hi there,
Here is an email from Erik regarding doctype support in OXF.. Thought I would
forward it here for the public record..
Damon.

Hi Damon,
Omar forwarded your message to me. Your email raises two interesting
questions.
First, as you noted, using public external entities (such as DTDs)
within your organization is not a very good idea for document
portability. It is certainly better to reference entities though their
public URL
(e.g. http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd). The syntax
to specify a proxy server changed in Java 1.3. The new properties are:
http.proxyHost (default: <none>)
http.proxyPort (default: 80 if http.proxyHost specified)
http.nonProxyHosts (default: <none>
Other interesting properties related to the networking API are
documented here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/guide/net/properties.html
Second, OXF does not use a validating parser. This means that the
external DTDs are loaded, but are not used for validation. The next
release of OXF will include support for customization of the XML
parser, such as selecting the validation method and disabling the
loading of external DTDs. Please let us know if you have a strong
requirement for these features sooner and we can provide you with a
patch before the release.
Regards,
-Erik
