Scott Cantor resolved XERCESC-2070.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
r1800006
Support via XMLScanner and DOMLSParser classes to set the standard
disallow-doctype property to true.
Evaluated the documentation and the other parser interfaces and concluded that
without a standard to follow, the "Xerces way" to do this seems to have been to
override the scanner class and use one of the DTD-ignoring versions. I wasn't
aware of that when I originally added the environment workaround, but
supporting the standard DOMLS property is more portable for applications to use.

> Key: XERCESC-2070
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2070
> Project: Xerces-C++
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Validating Parser (DTD)
> Reporter: Scott Cantor
> Assignee: Scott Cantor
> Fix For: 3.2.0, 3.1.4
>
>
> We should provide a way for applications that don't need DTDs to be insulated
> from bugs in that code.
> Trunk could do this pretty easily with the same property URI that Xerces-J
> and Java use for this.
> To do it without an ABI change, I'm going to patch in an environment variable
> check. It's ugly, but this is a problem of such magnitude that I don't see
> any other option, particularly given the lack of resources devoted to the
> project.
