Xerces 1.4.4 cannot find DTD

           Summary: Xerces 1.4.4 cannot find DTD
           Product: Xerces-J
           Version: 1.4.4
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: DOM
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


We wrote our own revalidating parser:

        outputFormat.setIndenting(true);
        outputFormat.setOmitComments(false);
        outputFormat.setOmitDocumentType(false);
        outputFormat.setOmitXMLDeclaration(false);
        outputFormat.setEncoding(RepositoryConstants.XMLENCODING);
        serial = new XMLSerializer(stringOut, outputFormat);
        serial.asDOMSerializer();
        serial.serialize(doc);

        strReader = new StringReader(stringOut.toString());

        try {
            // Creating an input source that the parser will accept
            // and passing it as the parameter to validateFile
            this.validateFile(new InputSource(strReader));
        }

On Xerces 1.4.3 this works for both XML Schema and DTD, but on Xerces 1.4.4 it 
does not work for DTD's, we get this message:

Stopping after fatal error: File "bookgram.dtd" not found.

The xml file is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE book SYSTEM "bookgram.dtd">
<book>
        <title>Professional Java Programming</title>
        <author>Brett Spell</author>

        <publisher>Wrox Press</publisher>
        <tableOfContents showPageNumbers="Yes">
                <tocEntry>Printing</tocEntry>
                <tocEntry>Cut and Paste</tocEntry>
                <tocEntry>Drag and Drop</tocEntry>
        </tableOfContents>
</book>


the DTD is as follows:

<!ELEMENT book (title, author, publisher, tableOfContents)>
<!ELEMENT title (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT author (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT publisher (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT tableOfContents (tocEntry+)>
<!ATTLIST tableOfContents
        showPageNumbers CDATA "yes"
>
<!ELEMENT tocEntry (#PCDATA)>


Please let us know if this is a bug or a problem on our end.

Thanks,

Rob
