Turn off DTD validation with XML parsing?

M

Mark McKay

I have some SVG files that I'm trying to parse. Unfortunately, some
of them include <!DOCUMENT> elements with URLs to DTDs stored on
remote servers. Not only odes the validation really slow down
processing, but it prevents the documents even being used at all if
I"m offline.

All my XML is well formed, and there is no need for validation. Can I
somehow turn this off? I'm using javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory
to do my parsing. I've set validation to be off on my factory, but
it's not helping.
