ignoring doctype

can you ignore the <!DOCTYPE> tag using the dom parser?

i wrote the following code to create a dom document object:
	DocumentBuilderFactory factory =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
	DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
	Document document = builder.parse("struts-config.xml");

all works fine for files without the DOCTYPE tag.  i get a
ConnectionException, which is because i am behind a proxy server.   i just
want to ignore the external entity altogether.

thanks,
steve

Use the "http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-external-dtd"
feature: http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j/features.html.
