Are you setting your EntityResolver for the parser so it knows where to find the schematest.dtd file? You could also try hardcoding the full path location for the schematest.dtd.

Thanks. That does indeed suppress validation from the DTD, but the parser seems to have lost its ability to read the external subset. Given input like: schematest.xml: <!DOCTYPE example SYSTEM "schematest.dtd"> <example xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="schematest.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";> <foo/> &ba; </example> where schematest.dtd contains: <!ENTITY fu "<foo/>"> <!ENTITY ba "<bar/>"> The parser says: 'Error - the entity "ba" was referenced and not declared". Works fine if you move the entity defs to the internal subset. Is this in accordance with jaxp? How to get the parser to read the external subset?
