[jdom-interest] DTD location

[Michael Kay]

Make sure that the SAXBuilder knows the base URI of windsor.xml. That is,
use one of the build() methods that supplies a systemId, or a URL, or a
File, or an InputSource containing a SystemId or a File; but not a plain
InputStream or Reader, which is just a stream of characters or bytes giving
the builder no information about where they came from.
