I am using Xalan 2.1. Too chicken for betas!
The code that invokes my entity resolver looks like:
Transformer transformer = t.newTransformer();
xalanOutStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
// Added to hook in my EntityResolver
InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(reader);
XMLReader xmlReader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();
xmlReader.setEntityResolver(entityResolver);
// END Added to hook in my EntityResolver
SAXSource saxSource = new SAXSource(xmlReader, inputSource);
transformer.transform(saxSource, new StreamResult(xalanOutStream));
t is a Templates object.
This is the only way I could hook in. I looked for a feature or -D setting, but to no avail...

Chris,
I've been trying to get a custom Entity resolver to locate DTDs but it
isn't being called. What version of Xalan are you using and could I
maybe see a quick example that works for you?
thanks,
Sandy McArthur
