keeping crimson from asking for DTDs

Hi all,

I am working with crimson as packaged with the JAXP-1.1 distribution.

Even though I set it to non-validating and set it to not resolve external
references, crimson will try to access a DTD that is referenced in an XML
file and throw an exception if it cannot. This is attached below.

The scenario in which I am stuck is rather simple: I am trying to parse an
ejb-jar.xml and a weblogic-ejb-jar.xml file on my laptop while offline ;-) I
know that I could keep the DTDs locally on my machine, but that would not be
very useful, as I would have to have the DTD reference point to my local
filesystem. Also, it should be possible to tell crimson to leave the DTD
alone, or am I getting anything wrong?

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Ben
