The XML parser in Jackrabbit 1.x unfortunately doesn't prevent the
loading of external resources. This is issue is solved by the
Tika-based parsers used in Jackrabbit 2.x.

An alternative and more localized fix would be to patch the
jackrabbit-text-extractors code with the following extra method in the
org.apache.jackrabbit.extractor.ExtractorHandler class:

    public InputSource resolveEntity(String publicId, String systemId) {
        return new InputSource(new ByteArrayInputStream(new byte[0]));
    }

If there's demand, I can include this fix in the upcoming 1.6.2 release.
