RE: External DTD

Alberto,

What does "setLoadExternalDTD(false)" provide me?  From what I
understand from the FAQ, this is an alternative to overloading the
entity resolver.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Alex

Even if the validation scheme is set to never, DTD will be processed 
to define the entities; and your internal DTD defines the 
NskBasicText.dtd entity that is later expanded to load the 
"../DTD/NskBasicText.dtd" file.
If you want to prevent Xerces from loading those files too, you 
should create an entity resolver and return an empty content when 
requested (see the Redirect sample).

By chance, are you running on Solaris? This looks similar to 
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1658
