You can preparse the DTD and save it in a grammar pool, then set this pool
onto the parser. For more details, please refer to this FAQ page:

Please respond to
xerces-j-user
Thanks for the suggestion Brion.
This suggestion will work, but I don't really want to "modify" the original
XML stream
Just kinda surprised that there's no API in xerces to specify a DTD that I
want to validate against
thx,
Henry

Hi Henry,
The way I've handled this in the past is to peek at the incoming stream
before the parser ever gets a look at it, and insert a DOCTYPE element in
the front of the stream. Note: this may require removing or saving the XML
processing instruction and/or any comments that appear before the document
element if those items are important to you.
Cheers!
Brion

Subject: Validating against a DTD
Hi all,
Just wondering if there was a way to validate an XML doc against a
DTD
*WITHOUT* the XML doc specifying which DTD to load (i.e. no DOCTYPE)
My customer is sending an XML stream and I want to validate it
against my own DTD
thx,
Henry
