When using MSXML I have tried using the validateOnParse method and setting
this to false and it still appear to try and locate the DTD resource.

When using the org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser I have tried using the
setFeature to set "http://xml.org/sax/features/validation" to false and this
still wants the DTd resource.

Have I dont something wrong or does this not do what I think it is supposed
to?

Tony

Subject: Disabling DTD Validation


Hi

I woiuld like to disable DTD validation, including checking whether the DTD
exists as well as validation against a DTD. Can someone please tell me the
easiest way of doing this using either Microsofts MSXML IXMLDOMDocument2
Interface (and MSXML3 final release implementation), or with Apaches
XALAN/XERCES DOMParser.

Thanks

Tony
