How to resolve UnknownHostException with Xerces-J API?
I'm trying to parse an xml file with entities like the one below. I'm sitting
behind a firewall as well and I'm using Xerces-j-2.9.1 to implement the
SAXParser. I need the Parser to resolve the entity. When I run the app, I
get the java exception java.net.UnknowHostException: www.w3.org. Code and
command line args given below.
entity requiring navigation of the internet to resolve it
===========================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE mpd SYSTEM "mpboe03.dtd" [
<!ENTITY % isobox PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Box and Line Drawing//EN//XML"
"http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/2007/isobox.ent" >
%isobox;
code snippet to setup the parser
========================
try {
parser =
XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
parser.setErrorHandler(this);
// Turn on validation
parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", true);
...}
//invoke the parser along with the schema/dtd to use and the xml file to
parse
================
try {
parser.setProperty("http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaSource",
schema.getAbsolutePath());
parser.parse(xmlfile2Parse.getAbsolutePath());
}
//command line options to navigate the firewall - specify the proxy and port
======================================
java -Dhttp.proxyHost=\"www-use-proxys.web.foo.com\"
-Dhttp.proxyPort=\"98760\" -classpath .:xercesImpl.jar myApp

Yes. Using a resolver is generally a good idea, in particular one which
hooks up to an XML catalog [1]. The W3C gets hammered with requests for
DTDs [2] (and other entities) on its site every day, so on top of all the
other reasons why it's good to use catalogs, it will prevent your IP from
getting blacklisted for hitting their site one too many times for the same
resource.
Thanks.

You may need to set a resolver and read these things in your own code.
