Hi Bob, I haven't actually tried this, but what happens if you use the JAXP property "http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage";, set to "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";? If you set isValidating to true on a SAXParserFactory, and set this property on the SAXParser instance, I believe you should get the behaviour you desire.

If you have a DOCTYPE with either an internal or external DTD, Xerces validates against the DTD. > Officially (officiously?), the folks who designed schemas expect us to stop > using entities and migrate to some other variety of macro/external-data > reference. Not their problem, eh? It's mine. A number of XML editors have started supporting this no concept, raising user expectations this is a valid combination.
