give this a whirl:

parser.setEntityResolver(new EntityResolver() {
  public InputSource resolveEntity(String pubId,
String sysId)
    throws SAXException, IOException {
    if (sysId.endsWith(".dtd")) {
      Reader reader = new StringReader("");
      InputSource source = new InputSource(reader);
      source.setPublicId(pubId);
      source.setSystemId(sysId);
      return source;
    }
    return null;
  }
});
