According to the documentation at Sun documentation (http://java.sun.com/webservices/reference/tutorials/jaxp/html/sax.html), " When the application specifies the schema to use, it overrides any schema declaration in the document.". I've tried to setup a SAXParser on an HP-UX box using Xerces-J-2.9.1 which is JAXP1.2 compliant to use an external DTD rather than the one specified in the document.
What am I missing to get the Parser to ignore the internal DTD and use an external one? snippet - XML file has a DOCTYPE declaration: ====================================== <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE mpd SYSTEM "mpboe03.dtd" [ <!ENTITY % isobox PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Box and Line Drawing//EN//XML" "http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/2007/isobox.ent"; > %isobox; snippet - code: ======================================================================= private static final String JAXP_SCHEMA_SOURCE = "http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaSource";; private static final String JAXP_SCHEMA_LANGUAGE = "http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage";; private static final String W3C_XML_SCHEMA = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";; try { //1.
