stop loading of DTD or xsd when validation is turned off

[Srinivas.Gadudasu]

Hi,             Even when XML validation is turned-off, through XalanTransformer.setUseValidaton( false ); I find that the parser is attempting to load DTD/schema when source document is parsed. How can I tell the parser not to load external DTD or Schema? There is a method setLoadExternalDTD( bool ) defined for AbstractDOMParser class, would calling this method help? If yes, how can I invoke this method on the parser through XalanTransformer class object? Thanks, Srini
