[jdom-interest] Storing DTD (but not XML) inside a Jar file

Hello,

First of all, great library. Very powerful; yet simple to use. Thanks.

Second... I'm bundling my application in a Jar file. The user will  
provide a XML config file to be parsed by JDOM. I want to validate  
the config file against a DTD that is bundled in the Jar file. I saw  
a solution using the ClassLoader to store both the XML and DTD in the  
file, but I want the XML to be stored externally.

Is this possible? If not with JDOM, can I load/parse the file, then  
send it through another validator?

Thanks for any advice,

Norman Elton
