This is my first post to the Xerces Java User list, so please forgive me if this email is misdirected (i.e. should be directed to the dev list) or otherwise insufficient.
>From the Xerces-Java Performance FAQ: "If you don't need validation, avoid using a DOCTYPE line in your XML document. The current version of the parser will always read the DTD if the DOCTYPE line is specified even when validation feature is set to false." Unfortunately for me, the application we're developing is NOT the source of some of the XML documents it will be processing -- and the source MAY elect to include the DOCTYPE tag, and referencing a DTD on the Internet. This is problematic for two reasons -- mainly, that fetching and parsing the DTD for each data document would be prohibitively expensive, and also that the application's host is not guaranteed to have access to the URI specified in the DOCTYPE tag. Is there a workaround for this dilemma, or is a forthcoming release of Xerces going to allow complete disabling of the DTD fetch-and-parse section of validation?
