读取xml文件时不做validation的方法

今天遇到一个问题，我使用dom4j读取一个xml文件的内容，该xml文件中指定了一个dtd文件，而我并没有这个dtd文
件，在我用SAXReader读取xml文件时，便报如下错误：

java.io.FileNotFoundException: [dtd文件名] (The system cannot find the file specified)

看来，是xerces自动进行了语法检查，其实这个xml文件是合法的，我这是想读取其中一些数据，并不想做validation，而
且我也不能删除xml中的对dtd的引用，我想，只要关闭默认的语法检查就可以了。查了查dom4j的文档，我把能想到的设置
都关闭了：

	reader.setValidation(false);
	reader.setIncludeInternalDTDDeclarations(false);
	reader.setIncludeExternalDTDDeclarations(false);
	reader.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation", false);

可是，仍然不行，没办法，只好跟踪源码了，最后在xerces的XMLDocumentScannerImpl里发现了这段代码：

	if (((fValidation || fLoadExternalDTD) 
		&& (fValidationManager == null || !fValidationManager.isCachedDTD()))) {
		// This handles the case of a DOCTYPE that had neither an internal subset or an external subset.
		fDTDScanner.setInputSource(fExternalSubsetSource);
		fExternalSubsetSource = null;
		if (!fDisallowDoctype)
			setScannerState(SCANNER_STATE_DTD_EXTERNAL_DECLS);
		else
			setScannerState(SCANNER_STATE_PROLOG);
		setDriver(fContentDriver);
		if(fDTDDriver == null)
			fDTDDriver = new DTDDriver();
		return fDTDDriver.next();
	}

需要把fValidation和fLoadExternalDTD都设成false才行，继续研究代码，最后终于找到了解决办法：

	SAXReader reader = new SAXReader(false);
	reader.setValidation(false);
	reader.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-external-dtd", false);
	Document document = reader.read(xmlFile);

其中setValidation(false);可以将fValidation设置成false，setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/
nonvalidating/load-external-dtd", false);将fLoadExternalDTD设置成false。

希望对其他遇到同样问题的人有些帮助。

SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
            builder.setValidation(false);
            builder.setEntityResolver(new EntityResolver() {

public InputSource resolveEntity(String publicId,
                                                 String systemId) {
                    return new InputSource(new StringReader(""));
                }
            }
            );
            Document document = builder.build(new File(xmlName));

哦，这样也是可以的呀，多谢赐教。
不过感觉比我的方法复杂了一点，呵呵。

谢谢 这还是很有用的

还有一种解决办法：
        //加上这一句,可以兼容dtd文件不存在的错误
        reader.setEntityResolver(new MyEntityResolver());


public class MyEntityResolver implements EntityResolver
{
    public InputSource resolveEntity(String publicId, String systemId)
throws SAXException, IOException
{
    return new InputSource(new ByteArrayInputStream(
"<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>".getBytes()));
}
} 

多谢楼主分享，以前还真没碰到这种情况，不过以后碰到就知道如何处理了

再做一点补充

如果是使用JDK的DocuemntBuilder来读取xml时，可以这样：

DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setAttribute("http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-external-dtd", false);
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
doc = builder.parse(file);
