I am trying to parse the following XML document using Xerces-J:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd"; [
        <!ENTITY chap1 SYSTEM "chap1.xml">
        <!ENTITY chap2 SYSTEM "chap2.xml">
]>
<book>
&chap1;
&chap2;
</book>

The parser seems to be having an issue resolving the locations of chap1.xml
and chap2.xml.  It appears to be looking for them in the directory from
which I ran java, instead of relative to the original XML doc.  Here is the
error I receive:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\wherever-i-run-java\chap1.xml (The system
cannot find the file specified)

Clearly, I don't want to add full path names to these entity declarations.
The XML document above and chap1.xml and chap2.xml are all in the same
directory, so I would expect the parser to attempt to search there first...
no?

This must be a common issue, but I can't find any information on how to
resolve this...

Thanks,
Eric
