Re: Processing xml without dtd

[Michael Glavassevich]

Hi Marco,

If you want to prevent Xerces from loading an external DTD, you can accomplish this by setting the load-external-dtd [1] feature to false. Alternatively if you actually want to load the DTD but it points to an inaccessible resource, try setting an entity resolver on the parser which returns an input stream to the DTD directly or redirects to another URI, perhaps a local file.
