do not load external dtd

Hi,

I'm trying to parse an XML file which has DOCTYPE in it but I don't have the
dtd file it specified. 
although I turned off the validation, the parser still tried to load the
external DTD and throw an 
exception because it couldn't. Is there anyway to let the parser not to load
external DTD and
parser the XML without validation? I tried these two features:

http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities

http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities

but the parser threw an exception saying it's not supported.

thanks in advance.

James

Can you stop the parser in the middle of parser and turn this feature
on? Like if a document referenced multiple DTDs and you wanted to load
one but not the other? Thanks, Wendi
