Thanks, thats what I'm seeing.
I can use SAXParser to validate ignoring the DTD but not Validator.

Hi David,
What you are seeing may be due to the combination of features you are
setting. If you are enabling both the Xerces' specific 'validation'
and 'schema validation' features the behaviour may surprise you. What
happens when the document also has a DTD is described in this FAQ [1].
I've never liked what Xerces does in this case, but it's been the
behaviour for a long time, so too late to change it.
If you want schema validation and schema validation only I would
suggest that you do it using JAXP [2] which has features / APIs for
validation against specific schema languages.
Thanks.
