Ignore DOCTYPE tag in xml

Question

Hi!,
I need to remove DOCTYPE tag from the xml file. The parser is trying to validate the DTD. I do not want to validate, I just want to parse. I could not find any documentation on how this can be done. if any one of you have done this please let me know how you have managed to ignore the DOCTYPE tag.
Regards

Here is one way to do it:
Example taglib DOCTYPE:
<!DOCTYPE taglib
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.2//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-jsptaglibrary_1_2.dtd">
Example Code:
// Get your parser, then set its EntityResolver to your own custom er.
parser.setEntityResolver(new EntityResolver()
public InputSource resolveEntity(String publicId, String systemId)
if ("-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.2//EN".equals(publicId))
return new InputSource(
new ByteArrayInputStream("<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>".getBytes()));
else
return null;
});
