Yes. Here is the code I am using

xmlFile) {
try {
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser(); FileReader reader = new FileReader(xmlFile);
parser.parse(new InputSource(reader));
}...
I'm using org.xml.sax.InputSource. So if I set the system ID on the InputSource object to the fully resolved filename from the xmlFile object this should fix the problem?
Yup. The bugs I was referring to had to do with Xerces forgetting the base URI when an EntityResolver was used, etc. Michael gave a much more insightful answer.

I am using xerces 2.5.0 by the way.
Thanks, Eric

Hi Eric,
I'm going to take a wild guess and assume you're parsing your document from an java.io.InputStream or org.xml.sax.InputSource (depending on the API you're using). Relative URIs require a context for resolution. If you're parsing with an InputSource you need to set the system ID on this object. If you're parsing directly from an InputStream like with JAXP, you need to call the parse method which also accepts a system ID. If you don't do this the parser will just use the current working directory (the value of the system property user.dir) as the base URI for resolution, which in general won't be the desired behaviour.

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
