[jira] [Created] (XERCESC-2070) Ability to disable DTD processing

Scott Cantor created XERCESC-2070:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Ability to disable DTD processing
                 Key: XERCESC-2070
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2070
             Project: Xerces-C++
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Validating Parser (DTD)
            Reporter: Scott Cantor
             Fix For: 3.2.0, 3.1.4


We should provide a way for applications that don't need DTDs to be insulated from bugs in that code.

Trunk could do this pretty easily with the same property URI that Xerces-J and Java use for this.

To do it without an ABI change, I'm going to patch in an environment variable check. It's ugly, but this is a problem of such magnitude that I don't see any other option, particularly given the lack of resources devoted to the project.
