Java XML dtd，sax解析器

Question

I've an xml document that has the following

<!DOCTYPE TRACE PUBLIC "trace.dtd" "trace.dtd">

after the first line

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

When I parse it using SAX xml parser, I get the following error...

at javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser.parse(Unknown Source)
java.io.FileNotFoundException: F:\<BLAH>\trace.dtd (The system cannot find the file specified)

Any ideas how to bypass this tag in order to parse the xml successfully?

Answer 1

Well according to this

SAXParser throws FileNotFoundException despite not being given a file to parse

it worked just fine

factory.setValidating(false);
factory.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-external-dtd", false);
