RE: xerces does not validate dtd even though it is set to true

[Huynh, Lynn T.]

Mike,
Attached the Counter sample, where I modified the DEFAULT_VALIDATION =
true, so I didn't have to pass in the options.  And I ran it with the
attached xml file and the label.dtd.
Plus, I am using xerces 2_9_1 package.
Just with these three files, I get back the result of:

Temp.xml: 63 ms (3 elems, 3 attrs, 0 spaces, 232 chars) 
And no error caught.

Hi Lynn,

Likely there's something else going on here which you haven't mentioned.
Not sure what to suggest since I can't reproduce it with what you
posted.

Thanks.
