Avoid needing a live Internet connection for DTDs

[jphili]

I've been using the Spring Framework in the equinox context and in there is a validation.xml file loaded by the org.springframework.validation.commons.DefaultVali datorFactory that is giving me problems. By default loading it seems to initiate a lookup for the DTD on the internet (see the header part below).

Does anyone know if it is possible to wire-in an EntityResolver?
Or is the only way to do it programatically?
And if so, does anyone have a hint?


Thanks in advance,

Johan

It shouldn't. The DTDs should be loaded from commons-validator.jar.

Try uncommenting the http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dt...ator_1_1_3.dtd doctype declaration.

If it's still occurring, you can try copying Xerces JAR to the "jre\lib\ext" directory of your JDK installation

Most of the types it's the XML parser - see this FAQ from Hibernate:
