ignoring doctype

[Melzer, Steven]

can you ignore the <!DOCTYPE> tag using the dom parser?

i wrote the following code to create a dom document object:
        DocumentBuilderFactory factory =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
        Document document = builder.parse("struts-config.xml");

all works fine for files without the DOCTYPE tag.  i get a
ConnectionException, which is because i am behind a proxy server.   i just
want to ignore the external entity altogether.

thanks,
steve
