I'm assuming that you are talking about the Java version only?

This seems to work provided the document in question has a document
type declaration with a system or public ID so that the
resolveEntity() method will be called. What if the document only has
an internal DTD subset, however? Or what if it has no DOCTYPE
declaration at all? If I understand this correctly, then no DTD will
be used. Is there a way I can specify DTDs for those case?
