Gareth,
My goal is to bypass the DTD validation. I am going to assume that the XML string is valid.
You cannot avoid reading the DTD. For instance, you could have a DTD like this
... <!ENTITY myEntity "hello"> ...
and your XML is like
<greeting>&myEntity;</greeting>
In such a case, even if you are not validating the XML, you must have read the DTD to know that myEntity has the value "hello".
If you are sure that you can really avoid reading the DTD, create an EntityResolver, register it with the DOMParser and make him return an empty string when the parser asks for the content of the DTD file.

Hi, not validating is different from not reading the dtd. You still have to resolve entities etc. So this is correct behaviour.
Cheers,
