Thanks, that worked. I created a dummy EntityResolver as follows and then used setEntityResolver on the SAXBuilder:<br>
<br>
import java.io.IOException;<br>
import java.io.StringReader;<br>
<br>
import org.xml.sax.EntityResolver;<br>
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;<br>
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;<br>
<br>
public class DummyEntityRes implements EntityResolver<br>
{<br>
public InputSource resolveEntity(String publicId, String systemId)<br>
throws SAXException, IOException<br>
{<br>
return new InputSource(new StringReader(" "));<br>
}<br>
<br>

I am trying to parse a simple document being sent to me over TCP. I am
using the SAXBuilder class with its default constructor. Problem is the
XML doc I am receiving specifies a DTD. Even though I am not validating
the document I get an error saying that the external DTD file is not
found.<br> <br> <br> If I create an empty DTD file it is happy, but I don't want to do this.<br> <br> Is there any way I can stop it trying to open the external DTD or supress the error and make it continue?<br> <br> I did try using setErrorHandler with an error handler that just returned on error but that didn't work.
<br></blockquote></span></div>The
reason SAX parser tries to read the DTD nonetheless is since it might
contain parsed entities that may be referenced by the document. Some
parsers do this lazily, ! ie. only if they encounter an unknown entity.<br> There are ways around this
problem, the simplest is probably to just create a dummy EntityResolver
that just resolves any references to the external DTD to return empty
content (or anything that's valid DTD; this should be easy): this
should resolve your problem.<br> <br> Another possibility would be
using parsers where DTD support can be disabled; StAX parsers for
example have a property to use that completely disables handling of
DTDs. ;-)<br> (I wrote StAXBuilder that can be used to build JDom documents using a StAX XMLStreamReader).<br><span class="sg"> <br> -+ <span id="st" name="st" class="st0">Tatu</span> +-<br></span><span class="ad"> <br>
