Hi Donald, If you don't want the parser to read (DTD) external subesets, there's a feature that you can set that will cause the parser to ignore external DTDs when validation is off.
Have a look at: http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j/features.html#nonvalidating.load-external-dtd If you want to ignore certain external DTDs but not all of them, try registering an entity resolver that returns an InputSource containing an empty input stream (not null) for the DTDs you don't want to load. Hope that helps. On Wed, 10 Sep 2003, Holliday, Donald B. (LNG-CSP) wrote: > I periodically receive a set of documents that specify a DTD through a > public identifier in the DOCTYPE.
