[jdom-interest] DocType Modification

[Frank Sauer]

You could use SAXBuilder.setEntityResolver and pass it an
EntityResolver that simply remembers the system and public ids
and use those to set on the DocType before writing it out.

The SAX parser calculates the absolute path and passes it to JDOM.  JDOM
never sees the relative path.

Nope, you're doing fine.

I really hope so.  But I don't know of any SAX feature addressing this. 
It may require JDOM plugging into the parser underneath SAX.  Anyone
have suggestions?
