You can't. Xerces (or any conformant XML parser for that matter) will not ignore or skip over any malformed / misplaced constructs in the document. Parsers are required to report the fatal error. The "continue-after-fatal-error" feature which allows Xerces to keep going is unreliable and can lead to a catastrophic failure (e.g. NPE, infinite loop, stack overflow, out of memory, etc...) if you turn it on. It's to be used with extreme caution and should never be enabled in a finished component / product. You either need to remove these DOCTYPEs from the files or filter them out at a lower level (e.g. a wrapper InputStream which doesn't return the DOCTYPE from read()). > Wulf > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: j-users-unsubscr...@xerces.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: j-users-h...@xerces.apache.org Thanks.
