How to force validation with a specific DTD?

I have a situation where I do not control the XML files I am reading in so
they may not have a DocType declaration in them.  However, I do have access
to the DTD that I want the documents I'm working with to conform to.  Is
there a way to tell the parser to validate the documents it parses using a
default DTD or to force validation with a given DTD?  For example,
something like:

parser.setDefaultDTD( "mydtd.dtd" );
parser.parser( myInputSource );

Any ideas on how I could do this?

Thanks,
Scott
