[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-1646) don't read external DTDs if we don't have to

don't read external DTDs if we don't have to -------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-1646 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1646 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: Norman Richards Assigned To: Norman Richards Fix For: 2.0.0.CR1 When parsing XML files that we don't control, like ejb-jar.xml it's possible for the parser to make network connections to resolve DTDs. Rather than trying to maintain a local cache, I am adding a safe parsing mode which will completely ignore external references. If the external DTD is critical to parsing (default attributes, for example), the DTD still can be cached and the document parsed normally.
