Q: 

Java How to prevent that an external library downloads a DTD file

I've created a program in java that starts as JNLP (Java WebStart). This program can connect to a webdav service at the server, the JNLP was started from.

The first webdav request results in a security warning that some code tries to open a connection to w3.org. I'm using a external webdav client library which creates a document internaly. The library should not be manipulated or replaced.

Is there any possibility to prevent the download of the DTD from outside of the library?

Thank.

A: 

It depends on the nature of the library. You can probably either disable DTD validation via a call somewhere into the library, or download the DTD it wants manually and place it on your machine somewhere for it to find.

Unfortunately there is now possiblity to disable dtd validation via a call.Where is the place I can put the DTD localy so that the SAX XML parser will use them instead of requesting the remote one?
