Do a parse of a dummy file which uses the DTD you want. On subsequent parses
on that same parser instance, set the 'reuseValidator' flag to true. This
will cause it to reuse the contents already in the validator (i.e. the DTD
that it parsed the last time.)

Note that this will NOT work if the files to be parsed have any internal
subset!

Subject: validation with arbitrary DTD


Hi,

My application uses the DOM parser to parse an XML file which does not
mention a DTD to validate against. I would like the parser to use an
arbitrary DTD for validation. What's the best way to do this? I have looked
at EntityResolver but am not sure how to use it. Is EntityResolver the only
way to do this, or is there an alternate method? Any help will be much
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Mary Huang
