How to use entities with XML Schema?

[Bob Foster]

Several customers want to validate with XML Schema but still use general 
entities for shorthand. I'm not having much luck finding the magic 
combination of Xerces features that makes this work. E.g.,

SAXParser parser = new SAXParser(symbolTable, grammarPool);
parser.setEntityResolver(er);
parser.setErrorHandler(eh);
try {
  parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces";, true);
  parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation";, true);
  parser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema";, 
true);

parser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema-full-checking";, 
true);
  InputSource in = new InputSource(docReader);
  in.setSystemId(docUri);
  parser.parse(in);
...

With the above, validation is always done from the DTD, ignoring the 
schema explicitly declared in the document with xsi:schemaLocation. If I 
change "http://xml.org/sax/features/validation"; to false, no validation 
is done at all.

Help greatly appreciated!
