> I am using JDOM to parse a program's XML configuration file. The 
> configuration file is in the Java Servlet web.xml format

> DOCTYPE definition). The reason for this is that I am using 
> the same web.xml 
> file to configure a servlet as an application. In servlet 
> land, tomcat gets 
> on with the business of reading the XML file; in application

> SAXBuilder parser = new SAXBuilder();
> parser.setValidation(false);
> Document doc = parser.build(filename);

> On my test machine at home this works beautifully. However, 
> on the machine 
> on which my application has to run I have a problem: 
> parser.build() hangs 
> for ages and then times out! Further investigation reveals 
> that something is 
> trying to connect to the java.sun.com website (presumably in 
> response to the 
> DOCTYPE). This is not great, because the machine I am running 
> on doesn't 
> have a network connection!!

> I would be very grateful if anyone could give advice on how

> connections when 
> parsing an XML file.
